No takers for $50M reward

In the heat of the bloody crimes that flared up here recently, police placed a $50M reward for information leading to the arrest of the country’s most wanted man, Rondell Rawlins, but more than six weeks later there has been no serious response to the offer.

The whopping US$250,000 reward on February 1 was seen as a significant sum by many when it was announced and it was the view of several persons including President Bharrat Jagdeo that the reward would be enticing enough to lead one of the fugitive’s own men to turn against him. However, this has not happened and whilst the security forces are said to be busy hunting down Rawlins and his men it would appear that the $50M reward has been forgotten.
