A Crabwood Creek logger at Ganesh Singh & Brothers Logging/Contours has said that Suriname police seized his boat and engine after detaining him along with his manager and five workers and then deporting them for being “illegal in Suriname waters.”
Ganesh Singh told this newspaper that he had done an inventory in an area along the Corentyne River and on Friday three forestry officers accompanied him and the workers to conduct a verification exercise.
He said the Suriname police were towing a pontoon that was apparently used for dredging, back to Suriname when they made the arrest. He and his workers were detained and later deported to Guyana via the Molsen Creek ferry.
According to him, on Monday he sent the forestry officers to the Wonotobo Resort while he proceeded to Cow Falls to wait on them to travel back home the following morning.
