On May 2, 2018, following another sting operation on the Atlantic Ocean, Officers of the Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) intercepted a Motor Vessel containing hundreds of boxes of foreign chicken and mosquito coils.
A release from the GRA yesterday said that the Captain and two sailors who were on board the vessel were apprehended and placed into custody.
These were first time offenders, the GR said. However, it added that many of the perpetrators are repeat offenders. Second time offenders will be liable to pay three times the duties and taxes as a fine.
