Golden Grove businesswoman, elderly mother robbed at home in early morning attack

A Golden Grove, East Bank Demerara businesswoman is calling for daily police patrols in the community after she and her 81-year-old mother were victims of a brazen daylight robbery.

Sherry Narine, 54, and her mother, Sumitra Deonarine, were robbed early Tuesday morning as they were having breakfast at their 865 Block-Y Section C, Golden Grove home. Police have since arrested one person and he is being processed for court. “I wish if police can conduct regular patrol and if the NDC [Neighbourhood Democratic Council] can put lights in through the streets. We try to secure our place but it is not enough… we need the police to come around more often. A lot of wrong things are going on in this place,” she opined.
