Police deploy more ranks countrywide, Commissioner makes high crime areas priority.

 Police Commissioner Henry Greene said that no effort will be spared to stop the criminal activities that occur almost daily at the stabroek market and surrounding areas. The top cop raised serious concerns about what he calls the spot and rob criminals who ply the area only to pounce on people. The criminals up their tempo this time of the year and increase in number. The Police fully aware of this, deployed ranks in plain clothes and others in mobile patrols in the surrounding areas. Members of the Tactical Services Unit and the anti-crime unit have been undergoing special training to deal with the heightened criminal activities anticipated this time of the year. The Commissioner said that officers will continue to be deployed to priority areas around the country to keep the peace and prevent the anticipated rise in crime.
