Residents of Eteringbang in Region Seven and other communities have raised concerns about their security in the wake of the recent robberies and murders of businesspersons.
Regional Chairman Kenneth Williams told Stabroek News yesterday that the regional office has received several reports from residents who are extremely disturbed about the incidents. The Regional Intelligence Community (RIC) was consulted to discuss additional security measures to help address the issue. The RIC is comprised of the regional commander, head of the Guyana Prison Service, and personnel from the Guyana Defence Force.
Williams said that the meeting with the RIC is expected to be held soon. He said that most of the suspects are drug addicts, punters and Venezuelans who wander the streets and as a result persons who ply their trade are affected.
