Vergenoegen NDC official arrested for suspected fraud

The Overseer attached to the Vergenoegen/Greenwich Park Neighbourhood Democratic Council (NDC) was taken into custody on Tuesday over an attempt on her part to allegedly defraud the entity of approximately 0,000.

Guyana Times was reliably informed that the senior official told other representatives of the NDC that there had been a break-in at the facility and the

monies were stolen.

The Police were contacted and an investigation was launched.

However, this publication was informed that the Police were unable to corroborate the official’s version of the incident, as there was no visible evidence of break and enter at the building.

“No windows, doors or any means of entrance into the office appeared to have been tampered with,” the source told this newspaper.

On this basis, the senior official of the NDC was taken into custody on Tuesday afternoon, to be questioned by law enforcement officers.

Guyana Times was told that a special meeting was convened on Tuesday to discuss the matter.

The Police investigation is still ongoing.
