Pirates attacked and robbed the captain and crewmembers of six fishing vessels of a quantity of articles as they were plying their trade in the Pomeroon River, Essequibo last weekend.

They robbed a boat belonging to Wazir Bacchus of Zeelugt, East Bank Essequibo, of a 48-horsepower Yamaha engine, a quantity of grey snapper, fish glue, radio sets and GPS.
