–following recovery of stolen vehicle

THE hunt is on for a man known as “Bourda Rat,” following the recovery of a stolen vehicle that has been traced and impounded at the Brickdam Police Station more than six months after it was stolen during an armed robbery in Georgetown

According to the police, investigations have revealed that the vehicle was carrying a fake registration number and had a colour change. The vehicle was taken from its owner on June 6, 2017, at Roxanne Burnham Gardens.

On November 27 last, the vehicle was intercepted with three persons following the robbery of two persons in Georgetown. The two were charged, but were subsequently freed after their victims refused to offer evidence against them.

The driver, who was acquitted, then made several unsuccessful attempts to uplift the vehicle since he had been unable to provide proof of ownership.

Police said on Saturday, the vehicle was positively identified by its owner and efforts are currently being made to have the suspect known as “Bourda Rat” re-arrested and charged
