Some time between April and May, an overseas-based Guyanese discovered that his relative had robbed his newly established store of brand name items worth US$50,000.
Deryck Dowdhari, the owner of the store, said that he is a legal permanent resident in the United States of America (USA) and has been so since 2004. He said that he decided to open a business in his hometown in Berbice.
He explained that a male cousin of his, who resides in Belvedere, Corentyne, Berbice, and who is a prominent businessman, was given limited power of attorney to perform duties in Dowdhari’s absence.
Dowdhari said that he instructed the man via telephone to collect a key for a storage bond from Dowdhari’s brother who lives at Whim village, Corentyne, Berbice.
He was supposed to hand over the key to the “would be manager” for the new store.
The store “Casa Blanca” is located at 26 Letter Kenny, Corentyne, Berbice was established to sell various brand name clothing and items.
According to Dowdhari, when he visited Guyana, he was shocked to discover that 30 boxes of merchandise containing men’s clothing and accessories to the value of US$50,000 were missing.
The man said that when his cousin collected the key to the bond, he did not give the new manager a set of keys at the said time. In fact he waited awhile before he did so.
Some neighbours stated that they would see the perpetrator would visit the bond in the evenings and load merchandise into a minibus on numerous occasions.
Dowdhari added that his cousin was given “large sums of money” to clear two containers at the John Fernandes Wharf on his behalf. He said that the man “swindled over one million dollars.”
These matters are currently in the hands of the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) of the Whim Police Station, Corentyne, Berbice. (Kristen Macklingam)
