“I AM so frustrated with this country so I decided to break the ambulance window. I want to cause terror in this country cause I am sick and tired with the way it’s going,” were the words of 33-year-old Vishnu Sukdeo, when he appeared before Magistrate Dylon Bess at Georgetown Magistrates’ Court on Friday, November 15, 2019.

Sukdeo pleaded guilty to the charge which stated that, on November 12, 2019, at Brickdam, Georgetown, he broke one left side window of motor vehicle PTT 6114 valued $20,000, property of the Ministry of Public Health.

According to statements presented by Police Prosecutor Christopher Morris, on the day in question, the ambulance was parked on the Brickdam when Sukdeo picked up a piece of wood and hit the left side window several times and ran off, making good his escape.
The matter was reported and, following an investigation, Sukdeo was arrested and charged for the offence.

Magistrate Bess told Sukdeo that, despite his frustration, he cannot damage someone’s property. He then sentenced him to nine months in prison.
