The Guyana Police Force (GPF) has launched a manhunt for five suspects believed to be involved in the abduction of Joshua David, known as “Bricks”.
The incident had reportedly occurred on Thursday, outside the New Thriving Chinese Restaurant on Main Street, Georgetown.
Wanted: Osafo Peters known as “Saddest”; Wayne Barker; Aaron Alleyne, known as “Cats”; Alpha Poole and Dwayne Griffith
The suspects have been identified as Aaron Alleyne, known as “Cats”, from West Ruimveldt, Georgetown; Alpha Poole, 28, from Lot 127 D’Aguiar Park, East Bank Demerara (EBD); Wayne Barker, 34, from Lot ‘G’ Norton Street, Lodge, Georgetown; Dwayne Griffith, 26, from Lot 68 William Street, Kitty, Georgetown; and Osafo Peters, known as “Saddest”, from William Street, Kitty.
According to reports, David was ambushed and forced into a car allegedly by the group of suspects while he was out purchasing food with a friend. Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) footage captured the suspects arriving on motorcycles and in a car, before swiftly overpowering David and fleeing the scene.

Following the abduction, authorities have issued wanted bulletins for the suspects and are appealing to the public for any information that could assist in locating them. Investigators continue to follow leads, and the search for both David and his captors remains ongoing.
On Saturday evening, the Police said between 15:00h and 19:00h, acting on information received, Senior Police Officers and other ranks from Regional Divisions 4A (Georgetown) and 4C ECD, carried out searches in the Buxton Backlands for David.
“The Police team utilised drones during the search, but nothing of evidential value was found. The search for Joshua David continues,” the Police said.
