– admits to “setting it up”
By Andrew Carmichael
Police have arrested the husband involved in Sunday’s Crabwood Creek, Berbice robbery, and he has told investigators that he had planned the robbery. Reports are that Krishnadatt Jettoo and his wife were beaten by five gunmen who invaded the couple’s Crabwood Creek home and took away in excess of Gy$5 million in cash and jewellery. Police in conducting their investigation interviewed the Jettoos and received conflicting reports.
Information reaching Guyana Times International indicated that Jettoo told the Police that the men had a long gun, but his nine-year-old son corrected him saying that it was a short gun. Investigators became interested and started treating Jettoo as a person of interest.
They held him as a suspect after learning that the intruders gained entry from the bathroom window which was the only window in the house where the grill was secured with screws.
This was something that only family members would have known. Also the door to the upper flat was left open when the couple retired to bed.
Jettoo was arrested on Tuesday and taken into custody and later provided investigators with information on the robbery.
