Persaud-Edwards laments police inaction on burglary reports

JOURNALIST Parvati Persaud-Edwards has challenged the Police in ‘A’ Division and, more particularly, those with direct supervision over the Eccles, East Bank of Demerara community to conduct more patrols and make the place a bit much safe for residents there.She issued the challenge after what she claims is the concentrated attacks on her and numerous efforts by persons to break into her home, the latest incident having occurred earlier this week.
Persaud-Edwards told the Guyana Chronicle that the suspects are known to her and that information was communicated to the police.
But she declared there has been a laxity, on the part of the police, to properly investigate her claims.
The woman said, once, she was the one who even ended up being locked up and charged, when she went to report a similar case to the police.
Yesterday, she took this reporter on a walk through her house and yard and pointed to several parts where the known characters have attempted to gain entry and, in some instances were able to gain entry over the years.
Tremendous losses
The complainant said she suffered tremendous losses as a result of the incidents and has now been moved to a point where she is fearful for her life.
She explained that she shared the residence with her son and, sometimes, two grandchildren, as well.
Persaud-Edwards said she believes the next time the burglars enter her home they may be take her life, since she is not a rich woman and, although the house she own looks huge and well appointed from the outside, the truth is that she is a poor woman with nothing to offer.
She expressed the fear of being killed because, when intruders invade and ask for booty which is not given to them, they become enraged and want to harm the victims in occupancy.
The writer recalled that she lost many things from a storeroom in the lower flat of her home and, so barefaced are the intruders that they also tried entering when she is present.
She believes that, if the police should act on her reports and seriously investigates them, those responsible for her heartaches would be captured and could be dealt with according to the law.
She maintains that she is positive about who are the people trying to rob her.
She recalled, too, losing a dog to the persons who have been making her life a hell.
