TWO men on a motorcycle hijacked a burgundy Toyota Carina 192, with registration PJJ 9483, after the driver left his vehicle on Quamina Street, Georgetown, to conduct business at the Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) headquarters, Camp Street Georgetown.

The owner, Derick Foo of Coverden, East Bank Demerara, said he came down to Georgetown from his home and parked his car on Quamina Street after 14:00 hours on Monday.

“I parked my vehicle on Quamina Street next to the Hindu Mandir and I leave to go to GRA and spent an hour, when I came back, I see there is no vehicle where I had parked my car,” Foo reflected.

Immediately, he said a call was made to Brickdam Police Station to inquire if any vehicle was impounded from the area.
“I know the spot where I park had no, no parking sign there, while talking to the police on the phone, a police pick-up came around in the street and I stopped them and I told them what happened. They turned to me and tell me think properly where I parked my vehicle,” the driver reflected.

The police, he said kept questioning him on his ability to remember where he had parked.
“They tell me walk around and see if is somewhere else you park your vehicle, but I keep telling them I know exactly where I parked, so after all of that the police asked me to get into the vehicle and they take me to Brickdam Police Station where I made a report at CID,” he said.
He explained that two of the policemen then took him into the Police Station’s compound to visually check to see if his vehicle was in police custody.

Further, Foo said police returned with him to the scene and noticed that there was a CCTV camera in the area where he had parked his car.

“When we see the camera footage, we see two men on a motorcycle that stopped at the side of the car, then they leave the motorcycle on the opposite side of the street and went to the car and broke the small glass on the back door and one of them shoved his hand into the small space and opened the car door from the inside, the other one walked and go back to his motorcycle and his accomplice got the car started and drove away,” Foo reflected.
The driver is calling on members of the public to contact the nearest police station if the car is seen.
Foo said his licence and other important documents were inside the vehicle when it was stolen.
