A fire of unknown origin on Saturday gutted sections of the multipurpose building housing the Guyana Police Force’s Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) at Police Headquarters, Eve Leary.
The fire started around 1.50 pm and a quick response by the Guyana Fire Service (GFS) prevented the blaze from spreading to the offices of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), situated in an adjoining building. No injuries were reported.
However, the force’s construction department and barracks that were also housed in the building were also destroyed.
