The Guyana Police Force says it has embarked on an aggressive zero tolerance campaign in all Policing Divisions across Guyana, to clamp down on the sale and use of Fire Crackers and other illicit Explosive Devices.
In a release, the police said that this initiative has already seen positive results where ranks have swooped down on several stalls in the Stabroek and Bartica Markets, where several large quantities of various kinds of illicit Explosives were discovered, seized and destroyed.
Several persons are in custody, charges are already instituted and they are to appear in court shortly.
Fire crackers were heard over the Diwali celebration yesterday and are also usually a major nuisance at Christmas.
