WHEN three men decided to rob a man living just a stone’s throw from the Ruimveldt Police Station early yesterday morning, they obviously failed to consider the many around-the-clock patrols that the police are conducting.

The three men were arrested by police in a mobile patrol after they had robbed a Ruimveldt public road resident at approximately 03.30am.
The Guyana Chronicle was told that the home owner awoke to a strange sound in his yard and decided to venture out and check.
Once outside the man was confronted by three men. He reported to the police that one of the men who was carrying a gun forced him back into the house along with his accomplices and they proceeded to make demands for valuables.
The men then robbed the home owner of a mobile phone and his laptop computer before making good their escape.
The victim then contacted the police who immediately reported the incident over the radio network and the men were apprehended a short while after.
This newspaper was told that the robbers who were arrested are from Albouystown and Charlestown areas. However, the police were unable to recover the firearm but the men were found in possession of the stolen mobile phone and laptop computer.
Investigations into the matter are continuing.
