POLICE officers held a community outreach at Timehri, East Bank Demerara (EBD) where they interacted with the residents on Wednesday.

Deputy Superintendent Lonsdale Withrite, along with several other ranks, conducted the outreach in Grant Sand Road, Bunkin Sand, Adams Road and Timehri North, respectively.

According to the Guyana Police Force (GPF), during the walkabout, the residents were vocal and raised a number of issues such as the many young persons who are involved with drugs, noise nuisance and petty thieves, among other problems. They called for more police patrols in the areas.

According to the Police Force, the issues were all addressed by the team and parents were advised to have their children join the police youth groups in the various communities so that they can stay away from the “many ills of society”.
