-

A team of police from Regional Police Division # 2 headed by Regional Commander Superinten­dent K. Shivbaran conducted a ‘White Light’ Traffic Enforcemen­t exercise on the Anna Regina Public Road, Essequibo Coast on Saturday 29th October 2022, between 19:00 hrs and 21:30 hrs.

A release yesterday from the police said that during the exercise, 53 motor vehicles were stopped, searched and examined by the Division’s licensing and certifying officer Sergeant Mahadeo.

Fifteen drivers were served with Notice of Revocation of Fitness and twenty-five for tinted glass.

The exercise is part of ongoing activities to ensure our roads are safe for motorists, pedestrian­s and the general public. crime, Blanhum said. Some of the stolen items were also recovered.

According to informatio­n reaching Stabroek News, Rajram told the police that he dug a hole under the perimeter fence of CJIA and made his way onto the airport tarmac.

Lighting around the airport’s perimeter and strengthen­ing of the chain-link fence which is not supported by any reinforcem­ents at the bottom had also been put on the radar.

Once he had penetrated the perimeter fence, Rajram then reportedly broke into the aircraft and stole the items. Two other suspects are also in police custody as the investigat­ion continues.

Civil aviation authority sources told this newspaper that while to locals it may seem as petty theft, the reputation of this country’s aviation sector has been brought into disrepute.

“The public may look at the items stolen and see it as small but the security breach is what really is serious. We will have IATA (Internatio­nal Air Transport Associatio­n), the US’ FAA (Federal Aviation Administra­tion), Homeland Security and all other security agencies from other countries coming down on Guyana. This makes this country look like a joke,” a source said.

“Questions will be raised to GCAA, I am sure, about the potential risks for terrorism, drug planting… and all these things,” another source added.
