A Canter truck loaded with fertilizer suspected to be stolen from a GuySuCo location in East Berbice was seized by police Sunday afternoon after a hot pursuit.
An eyewitness recalled seeing several bags of the stuff being thrown off the truck during the chase.
Three persons, including the driver, were arrested and are likely to be charged.
According to reports, police were tipped off and managed to corner the truck.
A chase started at Glasgow, East Bank Berbice after police ordered the driver to drive to the Central Police Station in New Amsterdam.
The driver, however, attempted to escape by driving in the opposite direction. A hot pursuit began.
After more than an hour of the commotion that attracted scores of residents, the police managed to apprehend their suspects at Fyrish, Eastern Corentyne.
According to eyewitnesses, during the chase, bags of the suspected fertilizer were being thrown from the tray. During that process a minor who was also on the tray of the Canter fell off and landed into a muddy drain.
The Canter truck is at the New Amsterdam police station.
