THIEVES have stolen one gallon of paint, groceries and a cellphone from a Hare Krishna Temple minibus at Mainstay, Essequibo Coast, Region Two on Monday.

Raman (only name given), a temple official, told the Guyana Chronicle that this is the second time in three weeks the religious place of worship has been robbed.

In the first robbery, the bandits stole some $50,000 worth in groceries from the temple. They returned again on Monday but found the temple secured and turned their attention to the caretaker’s minibus which contained the items.

Members of the temple are calling on the police to be valiant in the area.
