ONE of the suspects arrested in connection with a recent armed robbery in Dukestown, Corriverton, has reportedly confessed to the crime, admitting his role in the violent home invasion and implicating two accomplices.

Kevin Padmore, also known as “Bulla,” a 31-year-old unemployed resident of Dukestown, reportedly told investigators that he, along with 34-year-old labourer Cordell Small, known as “Mad Dawg,” of No. 77 Housing Scheme, Corriverton, and another suspect identified only as “Moses,” carried out the robbery on the night of September 9, 2025.

Padmore’s confession came following a targeted cordon-and-search operation conducted early on September 10, led by a senior officer from Police Headquarters in New Amsterdam.

Both Padmore and Small were apprehended during the operation and are currently in custody at the Springlands Police Station.

According to reports, at approximately 20:20 hrs on the night of the incident, the victims, 43-year-old labourer Richard Dhup, called “Dutchie,” and his wife, Willeina Dhup, 38, were in the backyard of their Lot 35 King Street home when three masked men breached their yard by scaling the northern fence.

The assailants, armed with what appeared to be a firearm and sharp weapons, forced the couple into their home, ordered them to lie on the kitchen floor, and proceeded to ransack the house. They fled the scene with an undisclosed sum of cash, several pieces of gold jewellery, three mobile phones, and a Samsung tablet.

While Padmore has admitted to taking part in the robbery and sharing the stolen items with his accomplices, police are continuing efforts to locate the third suspect, “Moses,” who remains at large.

Investigations are ongoing, and both Padmore and Small remain in custody as police work to bring all involved to justice.
