A 25-year old mother of one is seeking the police intervention to recover just over $100,000 in
Christmas shopping money which she said went missing following and illegal search conducted on her home by a party of policemen.
Akiesha Madramootoo said that the police entered her home when she and her husband were out. She is convinced that they were the ones who removed her money. Madramootoo said that mid-morning Tuesday she was taking her small daughter to playschool when she saw a van load of police officers entering the street that leads to her Lot 7 Riverview, Ruimveldt home.
She said that when she returned from taking her daughter to school, she saw the said van exiting the street. When the woman arrived at her house she said that it was ransacked.
Madramootoo recalled that even before she reached her residence, several neighbours, including her mother who lives a short distance away, said that the police went into her home and searched it.
One neighbour, she said, told her, ‘You got nuff cleaning fuh do.”
The woman continued that she had no idea that the police were heading to her home when she saw them. She became very upset when she remembered her money and noticed it missing when she checked.
Madramootoo said that the $100,000 with which she had planned to do her Christmas shopping this week was hidden in a drawer in her bedroom. When she got in, the vanity drawer with the money was the only one opened.
She continued that her husband was not home at the time of the police raid. According to her, he had gone up the road and he too had only seen when the police were leaving the street.
Madramootoo said that she is very confused as to why the police would enter her home. “I’m at home and my husband is a fisherman. I don’t know what they want with us,” the woman argued. She explained, however, that her home was not the only one searched, since the cops reportedly took with them a young man and his motorcycle.
Madramootoo said that she went to the Ruimveldt Police Station with her husband. There the police did not take a report but questioned whether she could identify the officers. The Ruimveldt Police Station told Kaieteur News that no one came to make any such report.
But Madramootoo said that she made a report to the Police Complaints Authority and made it clear that neither she nor her husband has any problems with the law. The woman was even more upset that the police broke into her home- in her absence- and caused two of the boards in her door to become loose.
Parts of the woman’s home were also being painted in preparation for the holidays. She said that the cushions for her couch were thrown about the living room while her recently laid vinolay was destroyed because of the displacement of her chairs. The kitchen was also upturned she said.
Madramootoo said that the Police Complaints Authority took her report and promised to return a call.
