Two held, released over safe stolen from Melanie NIS office

As the police probe into the break-in at the National Insurance Scheme (NIS) office at Melanie Damishana, East Coast Demerara earlier this month continues, two persons were detained for questioning and subsequently released.

Contacted for a comment on the matter on Tuesday, Commander of ‘C’ Division Calvin Brutus told Stabroek News that the police are following all possible leads but have so far been unsuccessful.

He said the two were detained based on information received but were later released after there was no ‘credible” evidence linking them to the crime.
