Police yesterday fired pellets and tear gas in a bid to remove squatters in the vicinity of Success, East Coast Demerara who have overrun lands belonging to the sugar corporation, GuySuCo.
According to a police statement, they resorted to this action after NICIL/GuySuCo officials visited the Success Squatting Area to speak with squatters there who were said to be “aggressive” and “hostile”.
The report further said that the squatters have illegally occupied lands owned by NICIL who over the past months sought to have squatters removed peacefully.
