Kaieteur News – Regan Rodriguez, a 40-year-old farmer of Charity Housing Scheme, Region Two, is missing after a boat he was traveling in collided with another on Thursday while in the Pomeroon River.
According to police, investigations revealed that 23-year-old Andel Garraway, a licensed boat captain was the lone occupant in a wooden balahoo. While proceeding from the Charity Wharf to Grant Phoenix Park, Lower Pomeroon River, Garraway’s boat hit another wooden balahoo.
