Two released without charges, police seek another suspect

Two of the eight men who were detained following the $17 M GuySuCo payroll heist have been released from police custody.
This newspaper was told that the two men, Joe Fernandez and Michael Grant, were reportedly released from police custody some time yesterday without being charged.
Reports are that investigations revealed that the men were in no way linked to the robbery which occurred one week ago at Stanleytown, West Bank Demerara.
Further there was not sufficient evidence to institute charges.
However, Kaieteur News was told that police are now trying to locate the brother of one of the recently released men, who might have been a member of the gang.
Six of the other men who were detained following the robbery have since been charged for that heist and several robberies which were committed in different parts of the country.
On Monday last Robert Darr of Ma Retraite, West Bank Demerara; Aldrhen Adonis of Grove, East Bank Demerara; Paul Stephenson of Mc Doom, Public Road, East Bank Demerara; Lloyd Johnson of Goed Fortuin, West Bank Demerara; Jermaine Todd and Dennis Williams were placed before the court, charged for several robberies, as well as other offences, including discharging a loaded firearm.
One of the men, Dennis Williams, has also been charged with the murders that occurred on February 17 last at Bartica, Essequibo.
These men were all arrested between Thursday and Friday of last week following the pay roll heist. Two others, Leon Dundas and Eric Williams, were shot and killed following a shootout with the police.
The canister with the $17 M which was taken during the robbery was subsequently recovered along with the guns that were taken away from the GEB Security guards.
