Congrats are in order for the police at Lethem

Oct 08, 2012 Letters

Dear Editor,
Last week’s recovery by the Guyana Police Force of an arsenal of arms and ammunition and other sophisticated equipment at Lethem should not go unnoticed by the entire Guyanese public.
It came at a time when the force has been under the microscope for all the wrong reasons.
While I do not know the real circumstances that led to the discovery, except what I read in the media, it must have been some good work by the police resulted in this significant bust.
Surely with such caliber weapons, it is one of the largest single haul of illegal weapons by the local security forces.
I agree with the police officer who was quoted in the Kaieteur News as saying “That cache, in the hands of 10 men with military experience, would amount to them having an arsenal and therefore it would create nightmares for law enforcement, particularly if they have any sort of criminal intent.”
How true is that statement!
I want to personally congratulate the members of the Guyana Police Force who were instrumental in probably saving this nation from the jaws of a major criminal assault.
But the task does not end here. It would be a bitter pill to swallow if they fail to secure a successful prosecution in the first instance.
It is my hope that they will not only settle with the prosecution of those presently in custody but go after all the players involved.
Cobeer Persaud (Anand)
