Police say they have cracked a ring that resulted in a number of persons obtaining driver’s licences fraudulently.
A statement from Police Headquarters, Eve Leary said that investigations are being conducted into the malpractices.
So far several police ranks have been implicated in this matter which is under investigation by the Police Office of Professional Responsibility.
The police however did not state in which division the malpractices have been uncovered but according to reports reaching this newspaper it is countrywide.
But it is believed that the situation is more prevalent in the West Demerara District.
The police said that several ranks, mostly certifying officers, have been transferred and eleven driver’s licences seized so far by the police, as the investigations continue.
The fraudulent obtaining of driver’s licence is nothing new but this is the first time that such a massive probe has been launched.
