Cops arrest BM Soat workers

Dec 28, 2013 News

The standoff between BM Soat and the Ministry of Works escalated last night with police detaining several of the auto dealer’s workers who had re-erected a section of a fence that was demolished earlier yesterday.
Police sources confirmed that “about eight to ten” workers were arrested and detained at the Cove and John Police Station for “provoking a breach of the peace.” However, it is unclear whether any of them will be charged.
The arrests occurred after some of the workers, in defiance of the court order granted to the Works Ministry, used welding torches to re-erect part of the structure that the Ministry had demolished.
The Ministry claims that the fence and BM Soat’s office building were constructed on Government reserve, thereby impeding the East Coast Demerara road extension project.
However, management of the auto dealership claim that the land is transported property.
