Two Venezuelan seamen yesterday appeared in the Georgetown Magistrates Court, charged with having arrived in Guyana by sea, and disembarking without the consent of an immigration officer.
Wolfgan Luis Romero Narez and Juan Jose Marean Salazar pleaded guilty to the offences before them.
It is alleged that on Wednesday June 3, last, the duo disembarked their vessels, Katay and Vigilante, at a local wharf on Water Street in Georgetown. Even though the defendants have in their possession licenses to fish in Guyanese waters, they have no documents allowing them to come ashore. Suspicious behaviour on the part of the defendants caused local police ranks to approach them on Regent Street. When asked to produce the appropriate documents, they admitted that they had none.
Narez and Salazar both claimed that they came ashore to make a telephone call back home, to Venezuela. They were both taken to the Criminal Investigations Department Headquarters at Eve Leary.
Acting Chief Magistrate Melissa Robertson informed the two that they would either have to pay a $30,000 fine or spend 12 months in prison.
