36 in custody following police raid at Stabroek Market Square

Jan 19, 2013 News

A police raid carried out yesterday in the vicinity of the Stabroek Market has landed 36 men in the lockups at Brickdam Police Station.
This newspaper understands that the raid was conducted yesterday “some time after lunch.”
Police ranks that carried out the exercise were able to seize a quantity of fronto leaves along with a quantity of gold Jewellery, two welding torches and 100 cell phones.
The seized items, according to the police, are suspected to have been stolen “or unlawfully obtained.”
The 36 were initially taken into custody to assist with investigations. Kaieteur News learnt that all 36 suspects were processed. Some were sent away while others remained in custody up to press time last night.
This newspaper was made aware that the police intend to carry out more raids in that area and in other parts of the country.
In 2010, after an explosion in the area that left one dead, a massive demolition and “clear out” exercise was done.
Government officials had deemed the vicinity a “haven for criminal activities.”  Subsequently a police outpost had been placed on the Stabroek Market square.
