Two men are now in custody after allegedly attempting to bribe a policeman with a total of $200,000 to abandon an investigation.

The Guyana Police Force (GPF) said the men in custody are a 35-year-old bus driver of Kuru Kururu, Soesdyke-Linden Highway and a 35-year-old mechanic of Sparendaam, East Coast Demerara.

According to a GPF press release, one of the men contacted an Inspector at the Golden Grove Police Station and offered him $200,000 to forego an “investigation/prosecution of an allegation of Fraudulent Imitation of Identification Mark, among other offences.”
