A senior officer said, since the manhunt started two weeks ago, they have made significant progress but the fugitive, identified only as Lorenzo, remains at large.

The bandit is no stranger to Police and, with quite a checkered background, will be captured in time, the spokesman said.

He told the Guyana Chronicle that, contrary to media reports, the man has not been killed.

The bandits ambushed Police early Saturday morning and wounded Lance Corporal Isaacs but three of them, Dwayne Marks called ‘Bully’, 25 and Gavin Gray alias ‘Sweet Eyes’, 27, also of Bartica and Antwan Singh nicknamed ‘Deportee’, 35, of Linden, were gunned down.
The dead men had all been on the Police radar for various investigations.
