The police have been granted an additional 72 hours to further detain three suspects who were held in connection with Monday’s multi-million dollar robbery at the home of a Berbice cambio dealer, in which AK-47s were among the weapons used by a gang of 14.
Commander of ‘B’ Division Errol Watts told Stabroek News yesterday that based on information gathered during the preliminary investigation, an application was made in the High Court for an order to hold the three suspects beyond the maximum 72 hours allowed and the additional time was granted.
Watts noted that during an identification parade one of the three suspects was positively identified by the victim.
