Gov’t might reopen Curaçao gold heist investigation

With gold smuggling rampant, the Guyana government might reopen the Curaçao gold heist investigation after it studies a report on the three-year-old incident where over 450 pounds of gold was stolen from a Guyana-registered vessel.

“Certainly it is something which the president spoke about and he is concerned about it. Any time the country haemorrhages in that way it is something we must have serious concerns about…We will do some further inquiries to see what will happen,” Minister of State Joseph Harmon told Stabroek News.

In November 2012, the Summer Bliss was raided by armed gunmen, moments after it moored in Curaçao.
