Yesterday at 12:40 pm, the police said that an inter-agency intelligence operation led to the arrest of three Chinese nationals — two males and one female.
This operation was conducted at a city hotel, which led to the seizure of a sum of thirty-nine million Guyana currency ($39,000,000) and one unlicensed 9mm pistol with fifteen matching 9mm rounds of ammunition, a release from the police said.
Investigations thus far revealed that the suspects are part of a transnational criminal group involved in gold smuggling and other illegal activities, the police said.
They are currently in police custody, assisting with the investigation.
