Police in Guyana place a sergeant attached to the Licensing and Certifying Office at Springlands Police Station under “close arrest” while the Guyana Police Force investigates alleged irregularities.
According to the reports, officers from the Special Organised Crime Unit (SOCU) visit the office on Thursday, August 13, 2026. The visit includes securing and reviewing relevant records tied to the office’s operations, as part of an ongoing inquiry.
The outlets frame the situation similarly: both cite the police investigation into how the Springlands Licensing and Certifying Office is operating and both link the action against the sergeant to that probe. Neither report provides further details on what specific irregularities are alleged or the full scope of the evidence reviewed at the time of publication. The Police Force’s statement, as reproduced by the outlets, is the primary source for the timing and the involvement of SOCU officers.
