Superintendent Dion Moore, the Commander of Region Seven, has said Guyanese vessels are being attacked by sindicato and guerrilla gangs along the Cuyuni River, resulting in the Joint Services increasing their patrols.
Moore made the disclosure during an episode of the Guyana Police Force’s weekly “Police and You” programme.
Moore stated that the Force has received reports about some of the members of the gangs, who operate out of Venezuela, stopping Guyanese vessels, demanding payments and on other occasions making threats.
