Po­lice have de­tained a 31-year-old sus­pect and re­cov­ered the stolen items fol­low­ing the hi­jack­ing of a de­liv­ery van in Val­sayn on Wednes­day.Ac­cord­ing to re­ports, short­ly be­fore 6 am, Michael Ho­sein of Pasea, Tu­na­puna, a de­liv­ery dri­ver em­ployed with Mar­ket­ing and Dis­tri­b­u­tion was dri­ving the com­pa­ny's ten-tonne truck along the Churchill-Roo­sevelt High­way when he stopped along the shoul­der near to the walkover at Spring Vil­lage, Curepe, to pick up his co-work­er.As 21-year-old loader Justin Sookdeo, of Stel­la Street, Curepe, got in­to the truck, a white Nis­san Ti­i­da pulled in front of the truck, block­ing its path, po­lice said.

Two men got out of the car, drew guns, and forced the two work­ers in­to the back of the truck which had al­most $130,000 in food and house­hold items. The work­ers hands and feet were bound with duct tape and they were blind­fold­ed.The two work­ers told po­lice they were tak­en to a ware­house where the box­es of goods were re­moved from the truck and they along with the truck were aban­doned along Ho­sein Street, Aranguez. The two work­ers were not harmed.The two em­ploy­ees, told po­lice that they man­aged to free them­selves af­ter sev­er­al hours and re­port­ed the mat­ter to the St Joseph Po­lice.
