Three suspects, including a Guyana Defence Force (GDF) Sergeant, who were arrested in connection with the Wallison Enterprise multi-million dollar gold heist at Kitty, are expected to be charged today by police, who say the men have confessed.

Crime Chief Wendell Blanhum told Stabroek News yesterday that as the probe continues, the police are still on the hunt for two other suspects. One of the suspects on the run is an ex-member of the GDF, while the other is described as a known character.

The three suspects in custody have been identified as the Chief Security Officer of Wallison Enterprise Peon Lee, also known as ‘Nino Brown,’ 35, who is also an ex-member of the GDF; Delroy Jackson, 27, the security guard who was on duty at the time of the robbery; and Keyon King, 32, a GDF Sergeant.
