Two security guards attached to a city-based security firm are under investigation after a break-in at a Berbice school.
Some time between 18:00 hrs Wednesday evening and 06:00 hrs on Thursday morning bandits broke into the Vryman’s Erven Secondary School staffroom and ransacked the area. Only a few items such as a hammer, a vial of perfume, photo frame and exercise books were missing.
The school was under watch by two security guards attached to the Roshan Khan (RK) Security firm, contracted under the Ministry of Local Government.
According to reports, this was not the first instance that intruders have gained access to the school premises, even under security watch.
Police Constable, Ronnel Chapman, attached to the Central Police Station, told Kaieteur News that the guards on duty at the time denied hearing or seeing anything strange in the compound on Wednesday evening.
They also said that the compound was very dark and that the presence of no lights around the school makes them skeptical to leave their guard hut to check for anything suspicious in the dark compound.
According to Chapman, both guards will be taken to the Central Police Station, arrested and placed on either self or station bail after which a thorough investigation will be done. He said that they can also be incarcerated for 72 hours.
Four years ago, thieves carted off a large generator set that had been donated to the school by a Peace Corps Volunteer. The generator was encased in a concrete shed which was heavily locked.
The shed was located mere inches away from the guard hut. RK Security was not the firm contracted to the school at that time. However, that firm did not compensate the school the funds to buy a new generator, nor was any thorough investigation done.
