Kaieteur News understands that the youths have been implicated in three robberies and four incidents of break and enter.

A fifth suspect was also questioned but was released after the victims failed to identify him.
Police believe that the boys, who are from two depressed communities, carried out several recent burglaries on the East Bank of Demerara.
At least seven homes in Grove New Scheme have been burglarised within the past two weeks. Detectives recovered a number of stolen items, including a laptop computer, electronic items used in barber shops, and two mobile phones from an empty house aback of Diamond New Scheme, after interrogating the suspects.

According to reports, the victim, 16-year-old Joshua Pedro, was near the bridge at the head of the Diamond Housing Scheme access road when six juveniles dragged him into an empty barber shop and relieved him of $6,000. They then fled.
One of the youths was dressed in a school uniform consisting of black trousers and a white shirt. Another attacker had a stutter.
