Guyana govt official involved in rent-a-gin and ammunition trade
One man said he knew of a dealer who traded in small arms as well as rifles. This man said the dealer works at a government department and this allowed him to escape the scrutiny of law enforcement officers. The man frequently visits neighbouring Suri-name where he would acquire the weapons and board a vessel at Corentyne using one of the many illegal crossing points to get back to Guyana.
