THREE Guyana Power and Light (GPL) contracted employees and their driver, who demanded payments from a customer at Enmore, East Coast Demerara, were arrested Tuesday night and taken to the Vigilance Police Station after a sting operation ‘busted’ the men with $60,000 in marked bills.
Sources close to the investigation disclosed that the men were demanding payment from an Enmore resident, and a sting operation in collaboration with GPL resulted in their arrests.
“This specific team is in the habit of harassing and soliciting money from GPL customers,” the source said.
If any GPL Inc employee requests/demands payment from a customer for a service while conducting field work, customers are advised to reject such requests and report the matter with any supporting information to their Call Centre at 226-2600.
