THE Guyana Revenue Authority’s legal department is continuing its investigation into the case against the former head of the Special Weapons and Tactical (SWAT) Unit, Deputy Superintendent Motie Dookie, over allegations of alcohol smuggling.

Upon completion, the case should be sent over to the office of the Director of Public Prosecution for advice.
Effective January 11, 2018, Dookie who was posted (temporarily) to the Strategic Planning Unit has proceeded on his annual vacation leave.
On December 31, 2017, Dookie was taken into police custody at the Whim Police Station and placed under close arrest after 30 cases of illegal whisky were discovered in a minibus in which he was travelling.
The discovery was made when officers stopped the minibus on the Whim Public Road, Corentyne, Berbice, to conduct a routine search.
At the time of the incident, Dookie had just three months earlier been appointed to the post, following the removal of his predecessor, Lonsdale Withrite.
Withrite was relieved of his duties on October 4, 2017, two days after allegedly being robbed of his service weapon, 16 live rounds of ammunition and his motorcar, while in the company of a female friend on the Kitty Seawall.
Assistant Superintendent, Amit Dass has since been placed at the helm of the SWAT Unit
