The Police Force says that it is investigating a “fake kidnapping” after a man allegedly staged his abduction to repay a drug dealer.
The man has been identified as a 23-year-old taxi driver of Essex Street, New Amsterdam, Berbice.
According to the Police, on April 22, 2022, the man abandoned his motorcar and ran away from the Police in Region 5 after marijuana was found in the vehicle. As a result, the person he was transporting the illegal drug for demanded that he be repaid $1 million for his losses.
