Thieves hit Lusignan Golf Club again

Weeks after the Lusignan Golf Club was robbed of over a $1 million worth of valuables, they have suffered yet another burglary.

Stabroek News was told that on Wednesday morning the locks to the club’s house and bond were broken and the doors were found ajar. The glass door to the club house was also shattered.

Club Secretary Rabindranauth Persaud told this newspaper yesterday that the robbery occurred sometime between 6.30 and 7 am, just after the security guard would have left.

So far no arrest has been made for the November 16th robbery.

“It is very frustrating at this point, we are trying to resuscitate our losses but this criminal act keeps repeating,” Persaud lamented.

The stolen items from the last burglary included, two grass cutting machines, a tractor battery, a flat screen television, a cooking-gas bottle, a charger for a golf cart and liquor.

The break-in comes at a time when the club’s executive is putting systems in
