An East Canje businessman says he is being regularly targeted by cutlass- wielding men and that he believes they are the same people who are making attempts to break into his Cumberland grocery store.
He was beaten on the last occasion. He also believes the incidents of him being terrorised by the men with cutlasses are connected to several occasions whereby his business suffered attempted break-ins.
Bisham Sarju, of Number Two Village, East Canje said that last Friday evening around 20:30 hrs, after closing his business and making his way home in his car, he noticed two men with cutlasses in his yard. “They asked me where is my money and I told them I don’t have money so they started to put lashes on my back and me and them had a scuffle and then they ran away”.
Sarju received lashes on his shoulder, hands and back. Luckily, he did not have any cash on him that evening since he did not take home the day’s sales. He made a report at the Central Police Station and they took a statement.
According to Sarju, this is the sixth occasion that he is being terrorised and threatened by the men. “One time, they blocked the road– two times, they tried to attack me”.
Sarju believes he would be safer if he has a firearm. He applied over six years ago for a firearm “and me can’t get a gun…and I am doing a business here. Now I applied for the licence and can’t get the licence…and if I buy a ‘bush’ one (illegal firearm) they would charge me and lock me up”.
He is living in constant fear and wants the police to intervene to capture the bandits.
