A rice miller and another man are currently in custody as police probe the theft of a motor blower belonging to Henry Massy, a cane harvester of Number 54 Village, Corentyne, Berbice.
At around 18:00hrs on Tuesday, Massy said his blower was secured on his premises and he subsequently retired to bed.
The following morning, he discovered the blower missing.
After a report was made, detectives detained a 32-year-old man of Number 53 Village over the offence.
Based on further investigation, a search was conducted on a rice mill where five motor blowers were found.
One of the blowers was later identified by the victim as his. As a result, the rice miller was also detained for receiving stolen articles.
Both suspects are presently in custody assisting with the investigation.
