Public spirited citizens nabbed a would-be thief yesterday minutes after he had robbed a young couple at knife-point in the Botanical Gardens. n eyewitness told Kaieteur News that the couple was relaxing on a bench immediately near the Botanical Garden’s Regent Street entrance at about 10:30hrs when the thief struck. The source said that the thief pressed a knife to the young man’s back and forced the victim to hand over a gold chain and DVD player. Photographers who ply their trade in the Botanical Gardens then saw a man sprinting out of the Gardens while shouting ‘Thief, Thief!’ ut then another young man came up to them. He pointed to the one who was shouting ‘thief’ and said: “Ah jus geh rob … dat man tek meh DVD player and gold chain.” The photographer and his colleagues gave chase behind the thief who by this time had sprinted across Vlissengen Road and was on Regent Street. A passing motorist spotted the reason behind the ruckus and cornered the thief with his car. According to the witness, the motorist pulled a gun on the thief who by this time had dumped the evidence of his theft into the trench outside of the Ministry of Agriculture on Regent Street.The ensuing commotion attracted the attention of cricketers and patrons in the Bourda Cricket Ground, who apparently recognised the thief. They ordered him to go into the trench and get the items that he had stolen but he could only recover the portable DVD player. The police were summoned and upon their arrival took the thief to the station. |
