Police found ten juveniles claiming to be Haitians at a hotel in Skeldon, in Region Six last Thursday, prompting the government to alert international agencies that deal with human trafficking and to impose immigration restrictions.
In a statement, the Guyana government said members of the police force, acting on information received, went to Swiss Hotel located at Skeldon, Corentyne, Berbice, where they found the children.
The children, the statement said, did not possess any form of identification or passports. However, during questioning, one of them who speaks English, related to the police that they arrived in Guyana on Monday, June 14th. The individual said that the group was bought from neighbouring Suriname via speedboat.
