Three Berbice men remanded after armed robbery 

Three remanded were remanded to prison on Tuesday after being charged with armed robbery.

The individuals charged are Delroy Parks, also known as “Sickie,” 42, a laborer from Lot 50, Cromerty Village; Amzad Ally, known as “Cow,” 30, a taxi driver from No. 70 Village; and Antwan Kyte, known as “Turtle,” 34, a security guard from Lot 45 (B), Dukestown, Corriverton. They appeared at the Springlands Magistrates’ Court, where Magistrate Tuanna Hardy presided over the proceedings.

During the court session, Magistrate Hardy presented the charge against the accused, stating that on Saturday, July 19th, 2025, they robbed Ramona Crawford at Number 58 Village, Corentyne, Berbice.

Parks, Ally, and Kyte entered their plea of not guilty.

Consequently, Magistrate Hardy remanded the trio and transferred the case to the Number 51 Magistrates’ Court.

Reports indicate that on the evening of July 19, 2025, around 22:00 hrs, four individuals left their home to socialize and drink in Skeldon, Corriverton, Berbice. While enjoying their time, they encountered Delroy Parks. As the group was leaving the bar, Parks confronted them, reportedly uttering, “Why are you watching me? I’m just a bodyguard.” They continued on their way home.

Upon arriving back at their residence, the victims entered their yard only to be confronted by two masked men armed with handguns. The victims identified one of the assailants as Parks, based on his appearance and clothing, which matched what he wore at the bar, save for the addition of a mask. The second robber was reportedly wearing a blue shirt.

According to reports, the assailants demanded cash and jewelry at gunpoint, resulting in the victims being deprived of an undisclosed amount of both. The robbers fled on foot toward a field wagon parked to the south.

Acting on information received, Police officers spotted one of the suspects, identified as Delroy Parks, drinking beer and dressed in the same clothing described by the victims. He was arrested, cautioned, and transported to the Springlands Police Station.

During a search, a gold bangle was discovered in Parks’ pants. When questioned about the bangle, which bears an engraved name, he claimed it was obtained through a trade for marijuana.

Additionally, on Monday at around 16:00 hrs, Police summoned Amzad Ally to the CID office at the Springlands Police Station for questioning regarding his involvement in the armed robbery.

During this interview, Ally admitted that Parks and a third individual known as Turtle had enlisted his help to drop them off at Number 58 Village to carry out the robbery and later pick them up. He stated he left them at Dukestown, Corriverton.

The investigation also led to the recovery of a .32 pistol, including a magazine containing five suspected live rounds, from one of the suspects’ homes.
