The doctor and retired Guyana Defence Force (GDF) officer who were arrested in relation to the theft of supplies from the Ministry of Health’s drugs bond at Diamond, East Bank Demerara (EBD) have been released from police custody.

Crime Chief Wendell Blanhum yesterday told Stabroek News that as the investigation continues, the police are currently waiting on the Ministry to conduct an audit at the drugs bond.

The audit will determine how many items were stolen and their value. At this point, those details are unknown.
