– Private security implicated
The Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) yesterday said that it is peeved at the disappearance of approximately $6M worth of foreign liquor from its Eccles Warehouse Facility.
This discovery was made by officers of the Agency’s Law Enforcement and Investigation Division (LEID) during a routine inventory exercise, which led to the immediate launching of an investigation on May 13, 2015.
As a result of the discovery, surveillance footage was reviewed and this revealed that officers of the security firm contracted to provide 24-hour security to the warehouse were very much involved, the tax agency said.
“In light of this the GRA has since provided copies of the recording to the management of the private security firm and has indicated to them that they are being held culpable. Additionally, the matter has been reported to the Guyana Police Force (GPF) for further investigation and the subsequent institution of criminal charges.”
Meanwhile, Commissioner General of the GRA, Khurshid Sattaur, has assured that the agency will spare no effort bringing perpetrators to justice.
He noted that the agency had previously installed a Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) monitoring system to safeguard against such incidents and this had significantly aided the investigation.
“From all indications, this incident was orchestrated utilizing the cloak of darkness in an effort to avoid detection of the activity and the identification of the perpetrators. Preliminary investigations have revealed that no current employee of the GRA is involved in this incident.”
