The police in Berbice are investigating a series of home invasions in the Corentyne area on Saturday evening, Commander of ‘B’ Division Ian Amsterdam has said, though no arrest has yet been made.

Melissa Narine, of Number 45 Village, Corentyne, owner of one of the houses, told Stabroek News that she was fast asleep around 11 pm, when she was awakened by someone “flashing a torchlight” in her face.
