The Guyanese government has told law enforcement agencies to launch a comprehensive assault against crime, head of the Presidential Secretariat Dr Roger Luncheon has reported.
Luncheon, who is also Cabinet Secretary, told the Caribbean Media Corporation that the Bharrat Jagdeo administration had called on law enforcement agencies to do "whatever it took", to get on top of the crime situation, and reduce the instances of crime across the country.
He said one of the main assignments given to the security agencies was to discover the forces behind the disappearance of the weapons from the army base in Georgetown in February and ensure the recovery of those weapons.
