Four men are now in Police custody after they were nabbed in the vicinity of Muneshwer’s Wharf — on Water Street, Georgetown — with a vessel belonging to the Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA).
The stolen boat
The 55-foot wooden boat, painted in while and green and carrying black strips, went missing from the Marine Wharf at La Penitence, Georgetown between 00:30h and 02:15h on Sunday.
Based on reports received, the moored vessel was last seen by a GRA security guard at about 00:03h. Upon discovering that the boat had gone missing, an alarm was raised and the GDF Coast Guards were alerted. A search party was put together, and during patrols in the Demerara River, the boat was sighted in the vicinity of Muneshwer’s wharf.
When the vessel was apprehended, four male residents of Annandale, East Coast Demerara were on board. They were immediately arrested. They remain in Police custody as investigations continue.
