Gunmen dressed in Muslim grabs yesterday tricked an Eccles, East Bank Demerara religious leader and escaped with millions in cash and jewelry. The incident occurred around 14:30 hrs at Eccles Old Road.According to reports, an 80-year-old religious leader,Cheap NFL Jerseys, who asked not to be named, was at home with his caretaker when four men dressed in Muslim clothing “from head to toe” and appeared to be in their late 20s entered the property.The caretaker said that the men called and when she peeped out from the verandah, they told her that they have a package for the religious leader but he has to sign to uplift it.“After they tell me that he has to sign for it,Martin St. Louis Lightning Jersey, he come down and open the door and is turn back, he turn back to get a pen when one of them come in and hold the gun to him,Nolan Ryan Mets Jersey,” the caretaker claimed.She explained that the men demanded cash and jewelry from him but because he (80-year-old) is suffering from hearing impairment,Zach Britton Orioles Jersey, he did not respond to them. That reportedly angered the men who demanded that the caretaker lie on the floor, even as they pointed their weapon at her and stripped her of her gold jewelry.Upon observing this,Daniel Murphy Nationals Jersey, the religious leader, fearing for his caretaker’s life took the men to the upper flat and showed them the safe.“I don’t keep money home but I was leaving the country next week so I leave like about $500,000 home and the rest was jewelry,Abel Hernandez Uruguay Jersey,” the 80-year-old man claimed.He added that he has been living at the property for over 50 years and nothing like yesterday’s incident ever happened.The caretaker told Kaieteur News that “when they get the money and jewelry, one of them told another one to go start the car. The other three waited for couple minutes and then they run out.”She added that she strongly believes that someone within the neighbourhood is responsible for yesterday’s incident, since neither she nor the religious leader had ever seen the bandits.Police were present at the property dusting for fingerprints. Sources revealed that detectives are of the view that the men fled to a neighbouring village,Jack Lambert Steelers Jersey, Bagotstown.Romila Boodram) |
