THE getaway driver, who was part of the team that carried out an armed robbery on 40-year-old, Ryan Rajmangal, and his family at Republic Park, East Bank Demerara, has confessed to the police.

The driver and two others were nabbed by police on April 11, 2020.

According to police sources, one of the men suspected to be involved is believed to be the mastermind and is a career criminal. He was released from prison three weeks ago after serving a sentence for similar crimes.

On April 9, 2020, Rajmangal was leaving his Republic Park, East Bank Demerara home for work, when the four armed men entered his yard and held him at gunpoint.

The bandits then bound the victim’s hands and held his children at gunpoint. They then ransacked his house and took away almost $2M worth in articles.

The getaway driver sped away in the motor car leaving his accomplice to hitch a ride in a taxi to make good of this escape.

The businessman reported the matter to the police and an investigation was launched.

Detectives were able to review surveillance footage from cameras inside of the businessman’s home.

Ranks attached to the Brickdam Police Station, acting on information, swooped down at a location in Georgetown and nabbed three of the four suspects. Some of the stolen articles were subsequently recovered.

Detectives were able to get a confession statement from the getaway driver, who is also helping with the investigation.

An investigation and the hunt for the last suspect is ongoing.
