An elderly couple was traumatized after bandits broke into their Craig, East Bank Demerara house early yesterday morning, but fled empty-handed after an alarm was raised.
The incident took place around 3.15 am yesterday at the Lot 251 ‘A’ Craig home of Mohammed Osman Subhan, 72, and his wife, Khairool Subhan.
According to reports reaching Stabroek News, Mohammed was awakened by strange sounds, which he suspected were coming from his neighbour’s dogs. On checking, he noticed a crowbar at a door which leads to his bedroom. As a result, he called out to his neighbour and informed her of his suspicion that his house had been broken into.
