Six persons were deported from Suriname, French Guiana and the United States between January 3 and January 10 after committing various crimes in those countries. Looknauth Rogers, a Goed Fortuin, West Bank Demerara man was deported from Suriname after serving eight months in prison for assaulting a Surinamese national. And Aubrey Anderson of No 55 Village, Corentyne was deported from the same country after serving a sentence of 18 months for the offence of fraud he committed on a businessman in 2005, while 32-year-old Nicholas Williams of Albouystown was deported from French Guiana after serving a sentence for robbery. The man pleaded guilty to robbing another man and was sentenced to five years in prison.
Meanwhile, 49-year-old Simon Gordon Sutton of East La Penitence was deported from the US for illegal entry. The man was previously deported in 1979 for possession of narcotics but he re-entered the country in 2003 illegally and last October he was intercepted by the US authorities and it was discovered that he was in the country illegally and as a result was deported. And 22-year-old Kesho Singh of Colombia Village, Essequibo was also deported from the US after he was found in possession of a false document. The man departed Guyana legally in July last year for Trinidad and while in that country he secured a Guyana passport with an American resident visa affixed to it. He travelled to the US in that same month where the fraudulent document was discovered and he was charged and sentenced to seven months in prison before being deported.
Another Corentyne man, Sherwyn LaRose, 27, from Kildonan Village, was also deported from the US after he was found in possession of marijuana. In July 2003 he was arrested for selling drugs on a street in Brooklyn, New York. He was charged and sentenced to four years in prison and upon completion he was deported.
