Police in stand-off with Benschop outside home

Police last evening were engaged in a  stand-off outside social activist Mark Benschop’s home as the lawmen attempted to question him over a traffic offence.

Benschop told Stabroek News last evening that he could not understand why the lawmen chose to visit his home at 10 pm to question him over the traffic offence. He said earlier in the day he had parked his vehicle in front of the gate along Vlissengen Road
