Police ranks on Tuesday stopped a car on the Helena Public Road at Mahaica, East Coast Demerara and found suspected counterfeit money but the suspect fled.
A statement from the police said that ranks observed a car bearing registration number PAB 5372, coming off the Mahaica bridge and turning north onto the Mahaica old road.
The ranks became suspicious and one of them pursued the car which was stopped and escorted to the roadblock. A search was then conducted on the vehicle and a male passenger (age, correct name, and occupation unknown at this time), was the lone occupant seated in the front passenger seat.
