Relative to the three persons who were charged with attempting to smuggle over 240 ounces of gold at the CJIA, Crime Chief, Wendell Blanhum yesterday said that the jeweller who allegedly plated the gold with silver was detained and questioned by investigators.
Blanhum told Stabroek News last evening that a goldsmith was detained and questioned by investigators.
This newspaper understands that following the arrests at CJIA, the Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) had written to the police requesting deeper investigations to uncover the identity of the jeweller who prepared the pieces and to probe travel patterns of other persons he produced work for.
