TWO men, who are squatters living in the Timehri area, were caught on Close Circuit Television Cameras (CCTV) plundering the AmeriJet Bond, Timehri between November 19 and 20. The surveillance led police to Albert Ramjaram and Ryan Waddel and nearly $1M in office equipment was found stolen.
Thirty-four year old Rajaram, also known as ‘Bonnie’ was sentenced to three years for break and enter and larceny offences when he appeared in the Magistrate’s court on Thursday. He pleaded guilty to the charges.
However, his alleged accomplice 22-year old Waddel, also known as ‘Patchie’ denied any involvement and was remanded to prison until November 29 for another hearing. He was unrepresented.
According to police records, only a computer and backup system were recovered – under a house in the vicinity of the Timehri Fire Station – from the loot.
This is the second such incident in two weeks where individuals have been arrested and charged for breaking and entering.
At the moment, a 17-year old is behind bars awaiting trial after police confiscated  four motor cycles, [three of which were in parts]; one camera; one refrigerator; three cell phones; two laptops and one pair of computer speakers in a dwelling in the squatting area.
The Ministry of Public Works had previously and continues to express worry over the security aspect of the dwellings around the Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA) including cultivation of narcotics and thefts on aeronautical and airport facilities.
