Bai, wah you nah shet you mouth. Wah you mean tek way? The police will rent the guns back to the crimminals. When they finish robbing and killing all the coolies, they will return them. Guns are at the disposal of the crimminals. Anytime they need one, they can go to the GDF or GPF.

No, they arranged that with you being the middle man. So how much did you collect from the murderers, robbers and rapists?

Guyana 2015 Crime and Safety Report

 

 

Crime Rating: Critical

Crime Threats

Criminal activity continues to be a major threat, particularly violent aggravated robberies. Serious crimes, including murder and armed robbery, are common, especially in the suburban areas and the interior regions. The most recent information from the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime lists Guyana’s 2012 homicide rate as 17 per 100,000 people -- the fourth highest murder rate in South America (behind Venezuela, Colombia, and Brazil). Guyana’s murder rate is three times higher than that of the United States.

Criminals are increasingly willing to resort to violence while committing all types of crimes. Criminals generally will not hesitate to show multiple weapons as an intimidation tactic during a robbery. Criminals appear to be able to obtain weapons with ease, despite the arduous licensing requirements for the average person to own firearms. Handguns, knives, machetes, or "cutlasses" tend to be the weapons of choice. Criminals may act brazenly, and police officers have been both victims and perpetrators of assaults and shootings.

Armed robberies occur regularly, especially in businesses and shopping districts. Armed robberies of business/patron establishments are becoming increasingly common. Criminals are often organized, travel in groups of two or more, and conduct surveillance on their victims. Foreigners, in general, are viewed as targets of opportunity but are not specifically targeted. Periodically, there are reports of robberies/attacks on American citizens and in areas frequented by expatriates. The press reported a total of 141 armed robbery incidents in 2014. This total represents a 30 percent increase in reported incidents from 2013. It is likely that many more incidents go unreported.

There were 165 murders, 66 robberies and 26 carjackings (an increase of 44 percent) reported in 2014.

Hotel room break-ins were reported to the U.S. Embassy by American citizens during 2013.

Areas of Concern

Most violent crimes against foreigners have occurred in the capital; however, there have been incidents of violent crimes committed in other parts of the country as well.

Travel to the interior requires planning and caution; travelers wishing to visit the interior are advised to make use of well-established tour companies for safer experiences. Medical and law enforcement resources in many interior locations are significantly less than what is available in the capital. There have been reports of tourists and foreigners being robbed while traveling in the countryside, and there are occasional reports of bandits on rural roads and piracy on the local rivers.

This is what APNU+AFC coalition inherited after 23 years of PPP incompetence. Thanks for admitting.

The police have caught more criminals who were fleeing the scene of the crime than they ever did under the PPP. How do you explain that?
