The man also said that the robbers
emptied two calculators and a radio set from his backpack
that he used for work to stash some of their loot.
He figured that the robbery
occurred at around 3 am because when he got up at around 2
am to use the washroom everything seemed fine.
He said he normally wakes up at the
slightest sound and suspected that the bandits must have
sprayed the house with some chemical so they would sleep
through the robbery.
It was not until he got up that he
discovered first that the door to the inner stairway and one
at the side of the house were open. The
damaged padlocks were also thrown
on the floor.
Across the road from the C & S
Computer Repairs, bandits also raided the Ultra Clear
Purified Water Service belonging to Kamal Sheriff and
stole two five-gallon bottles and
other items.
Sheriff told this newspaper that at
around 6:45 am someone called to purchase water and when he
went downstairs with the intention of
opening up he discovered that the
place had been ransacked.
Sheriff also rents other sections
of his building to the Cheddie and Sankar Fashions and the
Little Rock Television Station for a sub-office and
Salim’s Jewellery.
He said several items were missing
from the fashion store and the owners removed the other
pieces for safekeeping. It was also
evident that the bandits made a
failed attempt to break into the jewellery store.
Nikita Tejram, an employee of
Little Rock said she got a call about the break-in and when
she arrived she saw the drawers pulled out and photographs
and other documents scattered all over. All that was
missing, she said is a staple machine.
The bandits also broke into the
home of a Canadian-based resident who was not around at the
time. This newspaper learnt that the home was
ransacked but it is not clear if
anything was stolen.
