A man only identified as “Arab Man” was early Tuesday morning, 12 March arrested in Fiahma, Sinkor, after he and some suspects allegedly burglarized the home of a lady in Saye Town and stole money and some item.
Information gathered by this paper indicates that suspect Arab Man was arrested while he was taking refuge in the bedroom of his grandmother.
Arab Man and his collaborators, according to information, entered the home of an unnamed lady and allegedly stole several valuables including Laptop computer, flat screen television, stereo set, and LRD$10,000, among others.
An eyewitness, who did not want to be named alleges that he saw Arab Man around the early morning hours of Tuesday with some other suspects hurriedly leaving the crime scene.
Before he could come outside, the anonymous witness says the suspects fled the scene.
According to the witness, Arab Man has and continues to allegedly rob ordinary people living in the Sinkor community with impunity.
In an effort to retrieve some alleged stolen items from suspect Arab Man, the leader of Zogos (wayward folks) in the Fiahma area identified as Man Devil was contacted by the victim and security officers to assist in tracing the accused.
However Man Devil is said to have been led by the victim’s relatives on two motorbikes to certain part of Airfield, Sinkor, but the suspect was not found.
