3 arrested, charged for littering in Georgetown

Two males and a female were arrested in separate incidents and charged for littering in Georgetown.
It has been reported that two of these three persons are vendors, while the other is a homeless man.
The first indecent occurred when the homeless man was caught dumping garbage at Russel Square, Stabroek Market, Georgetown. Caught and arrested, the man identified a female vendor as the person who had paid him to dispose of the garbage. They were both arrested and placed on $20,000 bail. They are expected to be arraigned in court on February 8.
Following those arrests, Police said, another man who has not been identified was arrested on the East Bank of Demerara, and will be charged soon, after having been caught littering.
In a report from the Police Force on Wednesday, it was detailed that despite repeated calls for persons not to litter, the male litterbug was seen dumping garbage by the Meadow Bank wharf.
“He was arrested by a Police rank and escorted to the Ruimveldt Station. He will face the full force of the law,” the report read.
More than a week ago, three persons, including a businessman, were arrested and charged for dumping garbage in the city, just one day after a major clean-up exercise led by President Ali was executed in Georgetown.
Satnarine Bisnauth, a tailor of Tuschen, East Bank Essequibo; Jomo Singh of William Street, Kitty; and Wellington Gift of North Ruimveldt, Georgetown are the persons charged for littering. The three men were arrested by the City Constabulary and handed over to the Guyana Police Force. One of the men was caught after Police reviewed video surveillance cameras on Robb Street, Georgetown.
