Police hunting Parfaite Harmonie robbers

THREE days after gunmen invaded a grocery shop and home of a family of four at La Parfaite Harmonie, West Bank Demerara, Commander of ‘D’ Division, Leslie James, said diligent efforts are being made to bring the perpetrators to justice.

He related that sleuths are pursuing some leads, have enhanced images obtained of the alleged bandits and it is just a matter of time before they are apprehended.

The commander added that detectives have been doing some intelligence gathering and they know who they are looking for.

On Tuesday after the armed robbery, police reported that crime scene investigators have retrieved several latent prints and spent shells from the crime scenes.

The robbery occurred at the White Shop at Lot 4137 La Parfaite Harmonie, West Bank Demerara, a landmark grocery in the community.

During the morning hours, while the business was opened, three men walked in and asked for 2lbs of plantains but before the owner Saroj Singh could tend to them, they ordered all to be silent.

The robbers then escaped with $400,000, two gold chains valued a $1M, two gold bands valued $60,000, two gold rings, two cellphones and other items but not before shooting one of their victims and gun-butting another.
