On November 10, the Suriname National Police (Korps Politie Suriname, KPS) Major Crimes Division announced key updates on the ongoing investigation into a deadly armed robbery targeting two local entrepreneurs, during an official Monday press conference. The violent incident took place at the intersection of Wilhelminastraat and David Simonstraat, where the two business owners were assaulted, resulting in the death of one victim immediately following the attack. Law enforcement launched a coordinated multi-agency task force right after the crime, bringing together investigators from the Major Crimes unit, intelligence services, and local neighborhood patrol teams to piece together evidence and track down perpetrators. The joint investigation has already led to the arrest of one suspect, identified publicly by the initials V.F. Following further evidence gathering, investigators have now confirmed the identities, including full names and photographic records, of five additional suspects linked to the fatal robbery. Police are currently conducting targeted manhunt operations to locate all five at large; authorities have stated that official public wanted notices will be issued imminently if the remaining suspects do not surrender or are not taken into custody in the short term. Investigators have verified that the assailants fled the scene with a stolen bag, though the exact contents of the item have not yet been fully confirmed, pending a formal statement from the owner of the business the victims represented. Notably, responding officers recovered a substantial sum of cash inside the victims’ vehicle, consisting of both U.S. dollars and Surinamese dollars, which has been seized as evidence for the ongoing probe. Detectives have not yet ruled out whether the suspects stole additional cash or high-value items during the attack. The investigation team is exploring multiple working scenarios, including a review of whether the perpetrators had prior insider information about the victims’ travel routes and planned movements, though no evidence of premeditated tip-offs from connected parties has been confirmed to date. KPS officials also issued a public warning against unsubstantiated speculation circulating on social media platforms. Shortly after the robbery, unvetted photos of members of the public were shared widely online, incorrectly labeling them as suspects, despite none of these posts being rooted in official police information. The five currently named suspects were only formally identified through systematic investigative work in recent days, and police emphasized that unregulated sharing of names and images on social media does not confer official suspect status on any individual. To accelerate the manhunt, KPS has ramped up targeted surveillance and search operations, deploying drone technology, cross-referencing closed-circuit camera footage from the surrounding area, and leveraging intelligence service data to locate the at-large suspects.
