On the heels of the United States Embassy issuing a security alert advising its staff against visiting the Stabroek Market alone and to use extreme caution at the Bourda market, in Georgetown, the Guyana Police Force (GPF) yesterday said it was ramping up security in the areas.
However, Minister of Home Affairs Robeson Benn was also quick to point out that the GPF’s actions were not reactive but merely coincidental as ramped up security in those areas had been planned since last November.
