Rampaging gang robbing mining camps in Cuyuni-Mazaruni

Police in the interior are on the hunt for a gang of men robbing mining camps in Kartuni, Cuyuni River.

Police Commander of ‘F’ Division, Senior Superintendent Ravindradat Budhram yesterday told Stabroek News that a party of policemen had been deployed to the Cuyuni-Mazaruni area to begin investigations.

However, he explained that the officers who had departed since Monday were unable to venture into the backlands immediately since they did not have any vehicles. He said that because of persistent rains the roads leading to the backlands are in a deplorable condition, but yesterday morning the ranks had begun the journey into the area on foot.
