Injured burglary suspect faces criminal charges

(CNS): In addition to the head wounds he received last week in a foiled attempt to burgle a house in Sandy Ground Road, Savannah, Harrison McLean (28), who was arrested on Sunday night in George Town, was charged with one count of burglary. The man was chopped on the head with a machete when the householder discovered him breaking into the property. Two accomplices who were with him in a green Honda car when it approached the house have not yet been apprehended and McLean appeared in court alone on Wednesday 31 July.

According to the original police report, at about 11:30 on 25 July, a green Honda car with three men inside approached the house. One of the men left the car, broke a window of the house and then entered the building. However, the householder was home and he confronted the suspect and struck him with a machete.

All three men were said to have dark skin and were wearing ‘construction attire’.
