Canadian travellers warned about assaults, robberies in Guyana

THE CANADIAN PRESS

24/06/2008 2:58:00 PM

OTTAWA - Canadians travelling in Guyana should exercise "a high degree of caution at all times" due to crime in the country, warns the Foreign Affairs Department.

Assaults, pickpocketing, purse snatching, break-ins, armed robberies, car thefts, and carjacking are common, particularly in Georgetown, says an online travel advisory issued by the department.

Violent attacks have also occurred on the road to and from Cheddi Jagan International Airport.

"Returning Guyanese and foreigners are favourite targets for criminals," according to the advisory. "Canadians have been injured while being robbed at gunpoint. A number of random execution-style killings have been reported."

"Do not show signs of affluence," travellers are warned. "When approached by a police officer, always ask to see identification."

The advisory should also warn that certain parts of Guyana like Agricola and Buxton, you’re guarantee to be robbed, killed or kidnapped, mainly, by goons of the opposition forces operating in the country.
