The cook told this publication that she was asleep when she was awakened by a noise in her house and before she could investigate it, she saw a man peeping at her while she was still in bed. Afraid, she called out to her sleeping children.

By then, the man grabbed the television set he had unplugged and ran through the back door which he left open and fled in a waiting vehicle.

According to Dowding, the robber gained entry into her house by removing several louvre panes from the side window.

He ransacked the house before carrying away the television set she took out on terms from Courts Guyana.

Police are investigating the incident.
