Stabroek Market vendors want increased police presence

Mar 14, 2010 News

Vendors operating in the environs of the Stabroek Market are calling on the Guyana Police Force for an increase in police presence.
This call has been made in form of a letter to the Police Force with signatures from several vendors in the area.
Some of the vendors who spoke with this newspaper said that during the Christmas season, robberies in the area went down drastically but once the season was over and the police moved out of the area, the thieves and criminals returned.
While some vendors say that sporadically there are police patrols in the area there needs to be more plain clothes ranks in the vicinity.
One vendor said that she feels comfortable when a police rank identified as ‘Fine Search’ is in the area since he has contributed to the decrease in robberies.
This newspaper has been told that on a daily basis, dozens of persons are robbed at gunpoint by persons who linger in the area to prey on helpless shoppers.
Another issue which the vendors raised was the usual crowd at the Demico area where known chain snatchers hide out and attack persons.
