Kaieteur News – El Dorado Security Services, on Wednesday responded to online publications that detailed that three of its employees were arrested for reportedly intimidating a businessman while he was at a popular restaurant.

According to reports, the three security guards were arrested on Tuesday after a report was made to the Guyana Police Force (GPF) about them intimidating a well-known businessman while he was out dining at Hard Rock Café, located in the Movietowne Mall.

In a press statement, the company noted that they have conducted their own investigation into the incident which occurred on the night of December 30, 2022. According to the statement, evidence gathered from the investigation suggests, “that there is a conspiracy to misrepresent the facts to procure the wrongful arrest of our employees: In this regard, we have instructed our attorneys at law to leave no stone unturned to initiate legal proceedings against all such conspirators.”

Notably, the company noted that it does not condone improper, unprofessional or irresponsible behaviour from any of its employees whether off or on duty.

Additionally, it was also stated that the company has cooperated fully with the Guyana Police Force with its investigation and noted that a high-level team was dispatched to the Commander of “A” Division to share information with regards to the alleged incident. “The Service has every reason to believe that under the Commander’s stewardship, a fair and unbiased investigation will be conducted,” it was further stated.
