THE Guyana Police Force yesterday issued wanted bulletins for  Ricardo Ignatius Rodrigues called ‘Fatman’ and Clive Lloyd King called ‘Bora’, both of whom are said to be suspects in the recent arms bust where  a number of high-powered weapons, ammunition and explosives, including grenades were discovered in a yard in the Guyana-Brazil border town of Lethem. Stopping short of directly linking Rodrigues and King to the Lethem arms bust, police said the duo  are “wanted by the police for questioning in relation to the unlawful possession of arms and ammunition.”

Their particulars of the wanted men are:
