New Police Commander of Region Nine (Upper Takutu-Upper Essequibo), Superintendent Raphael Rose says while there has been no reported murder in the region for the year so far, there has been an increase in sexual offences and trafficking in persons cases.
Rose made this disclosure during his appearance on Tuesday on the Guyana Police Force’s (GPF) weekly ‘Police and You’ radio programme.
Providing statistics, Rose said that other than simple larceny where there was one reported case last year when compared to six for the same period this year, there has also been an increase in sexual offences.
