Americans nabbed at CJIA with fake COVID-19 test results
The Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA).
Kaieteur News – Two American citizens, a woman and a man, were on Sunday caught with forged PCR test results at the Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA) located at Timehri, on the East Bank of Demerara (EBD).
According to police the two were passengers scheduled to board a flight to the John F. Kennedy International Airport located in New York, USA.
While checking in, they were asked to present their Covid-19 PCR test results. They presented their respective documents with results purporting that they both tested negative for COVID-19 at the Sherriff Medical Centre. After the medical documents were examined by the airport officials, it was suspected that they might have been forged.
The officials then proceeded to contact the private institution to verify if the documents were authentic and it turned out that they were fake. The passengers were handed over to police who took them into custody and later released them on station bail pending further investigation.
