JUNIOR Minister within the Ministry of Natural Resources will not be charged for the ‘parking lot fiasco’ according to the police on Friday.

He said that the file was completed and sent for legal advice, which was obtained to the effect that based on all the statements and video footage, no charges were advised.

Following the incident, two security guards were arrested and later released, after it was alleged that one of the men pointed a shotgun at Minister within the Ministry of Natural Resources, Simona Broomes and her driver at the Massy parking lot at Providence, East Bank Demerara on the evening of July 8, 2018.

Reports indicated that the minister was also threatened by the 53-year-old security guard who was armed with a shotgun.

Security sources revealed that Minister Broomes had alleged that she and her driver went to the Massy Parking Lot at Providence to purchase food when the driver parked the vehicle.

The two guards approached the vehicle and became abusive. Broomes later identified herself to them but they continued and that is when the guard cocked his shotgun and pointed it at her.

The police were summoned and the two security guards were arrested and the shotgun seized and lodged with the police.

The police launched an investigation, statements were taken and the CCTV footage at the Massy Parking lot was reviewed.

The security guards were later released on their own recognizance.
