Eighteen million dollars in cash believed to be stolen during last week’s multi-million dollar robbery at gold trader Wallison Enterprise in Kitty was found buried in a West Bank Demerara back yard and two ranks of the Guyana Defence Force are currently in custody.
Investigators from the Major Crime Unit on Saturday night discovered the slabs of cash buried at the home of a Guyana Defence Force Officer in Region Three. A total of three persons including the GDF ranks are in custody assisting with investigations.
In a video circulated on social media and seen by this newspaper, investigators went to the home of a suspect and unearthed a hole in which they found a black plastic bag. Upon inspection, they saw a bucket that was secured in two large garbage bags. When the bucket was opened, the slabs of cash were found. Police later confirmed the amount to be $18 million.
