The twin-engine Beechcraft seized by authorities on an improvised airstrip on Sunday in the North Rupununi, Region Nine area, was yesterday confirmed as bearing a registration number belonging to an investment company in Brazil.
On Monday, the Guyana Police Force (GPF) reported the seizure, which followed almost a month of reports of a foreign aircraft frequenting the Santa Fe, North Rupununi area.
The Guyana Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) was subsequently notified and formed part of a multi-agency team comprising of the Guyana Defence Force (GDF), the GPF’s Criminal Investigation Department and other related agencies that was to be flown to that area to conduct further investigations.
