A Brazilian man who is wanted in his homeland in connection with the murder of a policeman is in custody at the Lethem Police Station after he allegedly stole a bicycle in the Central Rupununi area earlier this week.
Divisional Commander David Ramnarine told Stabroek News yesterday that the man was held in connection with the theft of a bicycle from a resident in Shulinab on Wednesday afternoon.
Ramnarine stated that ranks of the Guyana Police Force have since learnt that the man is wanted for the murder of a policeman in Brazil.
It is unclear when the man will be handed over to Brazilian authorities.
