A suspected thief is in police custody after being caught by public-spirited citizens following the robbery of a woman on Thomas Street, South Cummingsburg on Sunday night.
Around 8 pm on Sunday, Samantha Humphrey was standing on Thomas Street when she was confronted by two men, one of whom was armed with a knife, police said in a statement.
The men held her up and took away a cellular phone along with $6,000 and escaped. Humphrey raised an alarm and public-spirited persons who went to her assistance chased the two perpetrators and caught one of them. The man was handed over to the police but had to get treatment at the Georgetown Public Hospital.
He was then taken into custody.
LET HIM SING ho ho ho ho in jail.
NIIIICE!!! I hope he had a few broken bones & enough pain to deter him from even THINKING of repeating such acts.
Is it you’re the one against state torture?
way to go for the guy who put his life in danger and assisted the woman. good job!
I DO HOPE HE HAD A GOOD ROUGHING UP TO FIX HIS SENSES IN LINE AND I SURE HE WOULD NOT BE OUT FOR THE SEASON TO PICK POCKETS AND SNATCH BAGS AT CHRISTMAS TIME
I am sure the police will charge him and he will be granted bail by the magistrate….
or maybe he can come up in front of you “judge”
It is a pitty they did not get the other one and have them both placed in the storage room for the damaged and unwanted. Good job, we need to look out for each other and rid ourselves of these pests.

Way to go Guyana!!! This is the first time I have read in SN that ordinary Guyanese have chased criminals and performed a citizen’s arrest.
Wonderful news and with this great news, let us hope that maybe this patriotism will catch on.
The ‘light squeezing :-) ‘ which appears to have been used on the criminal should be followed by a couple of nights in the Brickdam Hilton until he confesses the address of his partner in crime.
Thereafter the court should double his previous sentence until he has learned to get a regular job.
Job well done by a citizen.
Very good job by the citizenry.
Hope they did a great job with the ‘roughing up’ which is absolutely necessary in these apprehensions!!!!
Couldn’t agree more!
Gr8; boy he must have gotten licks like peas, lol
put the word out there; let the citizens help the po po deal with these bastards…………..
