A family residing at Lot 67 Durban Street, Wortmanville, Georgetown, is seeking help after being constantly harassed. Nalini Rampersaud, who lives with her daughter at Durban Street, also complained of being robbed recently.Over the past few days, the family has grown increasingly worried about perpetrators coming to their Durban Street premises.Three men, whose faces were covered, were at Rampersaud’s house early Thursday morning. They reportedly broke the lock on her gate, came inside the yard, and locked Rampersaud and her daughter inside their house. The three men then stole motorcycle parts from one of Rampersaud’s two motorcycles parked in the yard.The family managed to leave their house eventually. Rampersaud said a report was made at the Alberttown Police Station later that morning. Officers visited the premises on Friday and told Rampersaud that investigators would follow up with her.Early Saturday morning, however, an unknown man went to the premises and attempted to break the new lock Rampersaud put on the gate. Rampersaud said an alarm installed around the premises went off and seemingly scared the man away. However, two men returned shortly after and broke the lock on the gate. Nothing was stolen this time.Saturday’s incident was reported to the Police.Rampersaud said these instances aren’t the first time the family had to deal with harassment. In February this year, a man climbed onto their fence and attempted to jump into the yard.“I am pleading with Police to come and do an investigation and help us feel safe again in our home, and catch the criminals before they break in again,” Rampersaid told the News Room.The post Durban Street family seeking help after constantly harassed, robbed appeared first on News Room Guyana.
