Ministry sounds warning following bid to smuggle ammo into jail

The Ministry of Home Affairs  says it has been informed by the Prison Authorities of an attempt by persons bent on derailing law and order in Guyana to smuggle several rounds of ammunition into the Georgetown Prison.

This is not the first time such attempts have been made and uncovered thanks to the alert Ranks of the Guyana Prison Service, the ministry said in a release last evening.

Security at the prison has raised public qualms in recent years in the aftermath of the bloody breakout from the Camp Street prison in 2002
