The police and the government have signalled that progress is being made in dismantling a network of Chinese smuggling gold from Guyana to Suriname.
Of the three Chinese nationals who were held at a city hotel on July 9 in a gold smuggling probe, Ying Xin Su, the 30-year-old female has been charged with unlawful possession of a firearm and ammunition while the two men are being investigated by the Special Organised Crime Unit (SOCU).
Another woman has been charged with overstaying her time in the country and is also a part of the wider probe.
