– throw feces at ranks
Heavily armed ranks and firefighters were summoned to the Golden Grove Police Station yesterday after three prisoners set fires and hurled feces at policemen shortly after being taken out of their cells.
Superintendent of Police Anthony Vanderhyden identified two of the prisoners as Godfrey Lynch and Travis Alexander, who were recently detained in connection with a robbery at Nandy Park, East Bank Demerara.
Two doors were scorched and a CCTV camera was burnt.
According to a police statement, at about 06.30hrs yesterday, prisoners at the Golden Grove Police Station, East Bank Demerara, were taken out of their cells by the police for ablution purposes.
“At the conclusion, three of them demanded cigarettes and refused to return to their cells after their request was denied.
“The three prisoners began throwing faeces at the police ranks during efforts to get them back into the cells and remained in the passageway behind the main door leading to the cells, which was locked.
“Later, at about 13.30hrs, smoke was seen coming from the lockups and the three prisoners were seen with lit newspapers which they placed in the passageway at the main door. The blaze which scorched two wooden doors and damaged a CCTV camera was extinguished and the three prisoners were subsequently replaced in their cells in the lockups.”
Superintendant Vanderhyden told reporters that 13 prisoners were being housed at the station at the time. They have been detained for offences ranging from break-and-enter, robbery and murder.
