Large Criminal Activity

Armed robbery and abduction at GGMC checkpoint in Marudi, Rupununi Region Nine

Masked gunmen ambushed and robbed a group of Natural Resources Officers and others at the GGMC Bush Mouth sub-station checkpoint in Marudi, taking them hostage and fleeing in a vehicle.

On a Saturday morning at the Bush Mouth sub-station of the Guyana Geology and Mines Commission (GGMC) in Marudi, Region Nine (Rupununi), a group of officials and civilians were ambushed by six masked men armed with rifles. The group, which included five Guyanese and four Brazilian nationals, had stopped at the GGMC checkpoint while en route to Marudi Backdam. Speaking Portuguese, the assailants surrounded the group at the checkpoint, overpowered them, and initiated a robbery. They seized raw gold, two Glock pistols, and a Mavado watch valued at $140,000 before taking all nine individuals hostage and fleeing in a vehicle. Joint Services subsequently launched a pursuit, and the suspects later abandoned the vehicle, allowing personnel to rescue all hostages unharmed. The suspects remain at large, and Joint Services continue to comb the Deep South Rupununi near Bashaizon Village and along the Takutu River.
