Region Eight has seen rise in rape cases – commander

Police Commander of Region Eight (Potaro-Siparuni), Senior Superintendent Michael Kingston said that rape is the only serious crime that has seen an increase.

“…Crime is only up because of one specific offence and that is rape. That is the only offence that has caused my figure to be up,” Kingston said.

He made this disclosure on Tuesday night during his appearance on the Guyana Police Force’s (GPF) weekly Police and You programme.
