Reports out of Curacao that masked men snatched 476 pounds of gold today from a Guyana fishing boat are sending shock waves through the mining industry and security sectors here tonight.
In a swift, precision operation, the men, dressed in what were intended to be police uniforms, grabbed the gold worth US$13M from the Guyanese crew aboard the vessel “Summer Bliss” on the Dutch Caribbean island.
Where exactly the gold came from and why it was being transported on a rickety vessel were the million dollar questions tonight. Government and security officials here have not commented on the incident
