POLICE attached to the Parika Police Station, West Coast of Demerara, have arrested three persons in connection with the break and enter and larceny of Parika N and J Wholesale and Retail Depot.

According to businessman Bhari Harrinarine, the police efforts should be commended since their investigations have led to the arrest of three of the men.
Several of the household items were also recovered but none of the suspects have confessed to the crime. The businessman, who operates a supermarket at Bartica, received a call early on Thursday morning from a neighbour that his store and bond at Parika had been vandalised.

When checks were made, the grill works were removed and several groceries along with household appliances were missing.
Harrinarine said the thieves charted away groceries as well as appliances amounting to hundreds of thousands of dollars.

An assessment is currently being done to ascertain what are the items stolen.
Thus far, blenders, pressure washer, pumps and generator are said to be among the items stolen.
