TWO men are in police custody for allegedly hijacking a silver Allion Toyota car belonging to Anthony Pickett of Lot 191 Pineapple Street, East Ruimveldt, Georgetown, on March 14.
The car was found on May 10 at Airy Hall, Essequibo Coast by police from `G’ Division.
Acting on information, police from `G’ Division went to the home of Mahadeo Mall, a taxi driver from Airy Hall, where the motor car HC 3368 was found parked in front of his house.
The same car was identified by Anthony Pickett to be his property. Pickett told police that he was robbed of the said car on March 14 at Kitty, Georgetown.
Mall reportedly stated that he got the car about five weeks ago to work as taxi and keep from one Munesh Persaud, 29, of Lot 41 Columbia, Essequibo Coast.
Persaud when contacted claimed that a man by the name “Bull Dog” of Moruca had brought the said car some three months ago at his home to fix the number plate and told him to look for someone to work the car as a hired car.
The Police are continuing their investigating into this matter.
