Local police are trying to locate a Canadian banking consultant who has been missing since Saturday.
Kaieteur News understands that the official, identified as Ian Parris, disappeared after leaving a well-known Georgetown hotel.
According to reports, Parris came to Guyana about a week ago and was staying at a city hotel. He was scheduled to return home on Saturday.
On Friday, the consultant left the hotel in the company of friends but did not return.
Sources said that on Saturday, security staff from the Bank of Guyana arrived at the hotel with the intention of taking Mr. Parris to the Cheddi Jagan International Airport.
They were then informed that he was not there, and he has not been heard from since.
A report was subsequently made at the Brickdam Police Station and investigators are trying to locate the official.
