Man carrying Venezuelan Security ID convicted for illegal entry

Venezuelan national, Ramon Andres Vansluytman was on Friday fined $15,000 or an alternative of four weeks’ imprisonment after he was charged with illegally entering Guyana.
He was reportedly arrested at the Sherima Crossing in Region Seven (Cuyuni-Mazaruni) on November 18, 2023. At the time of this arrest, he had in his possession one UHF radio set and a Venezuelan Security Identification (ID) card.
He was, however, found guilty of the offence by Magistrate Crystal Lambert during a trial at the Bartica Magistrate’s Court on Friday.
Following his conviction, Magistrate Lambert further directed that he be thereafter handed over to the Immigration Department to process his deportation.
