LEON Johnson, captain of the Guyana Jaguars Cricket team, is urging the thieves that broke into his Farm, East Bank Demerara home sometime Sunday evening, to return his Golden Arrow of Achievement (A.A) National Award.

In 2019, Johnson was bestowed with the Golden Arrow of Achievement by former President, David Granger.
The former West Indies U19 World Cup captain explained to Chronicle Sport that he left his home Sunday around 3:00pm for a get-together since it was his 34th Birth Anniversary.

However, Johnson said he was in surprised after noticing the lights in his home being on upon his return, since he was certain that he turned them off before he left.
After taking some time to enter his premises, Johnson said he noticed his house ‘ransacked’. He said his safe, which contained cash, jewellery and other valuable items, was gone.

Johnson related that he noticed that his Gold Medal (A.A) was also missing. According to the national cricket captain, his wife had framed his National Award and had it on the wall of their home.

Johnson said while he can replace the money and some of the other missing items with time, his Golden Arrow of Achievement National Award is immeasurable.
Johnson led Guyana to five consecutive West Indies Professional Cricket League (PCL) Regional Four-day titles before surrendering the trophy to Barbados last year.

The Golden Arrow of Achievement (A.A.) is the fourth highest award in the Order of Service of Guyana and is awarded to any citizen of Guyana who has performed an outstanding and specific act of service or achievement of an exceptional nature, or is given for long and dedicated service of a consistently high standard in responsible offices, local government services, social and voluntary services, industry or trade unions, or in any other area of public service.
