THE Guyana Police Force (GPF) has issued a wanted bulletin for a Chinese national following the recent dismantling of a transnational criminal network.

The person is wanted for questioning in relation to money laundering and related serious offences.

On Monday, a wanted bulletin was issued by the police for Zhenjian Fang, a 44-year-old Chinese national, whose last known address is Lot 47, New Road, Vreed-en-Hoop, West Coast Demerara (WCD).

Anyone with information on the whereabouts of the suspect is asked to contact the Special Organised Crime Unit (SOCU), an arm of the GPF, on 225-3084, 225-3079, or the nearest police station. All information will be treated with strict confidence.

Three Chinese nationals, two males and female, were arrested on July 9, 2024, at a city hotel, after an inter-agency intelligence-led operation busted the trio allegedly involved in gold smuggling and other illegal activities.

The operation, a coordinated effort by various intelligence agencies, led to the seizure of G$39M and an unlicensed 9mm pistol with 15 matching rounds of ammunition.

Preliminary investigations have revealed that the individuals are part of a transnational criminal organisation involved in gold smuggling and other illegal activities.

The seized funds and firearm are believed to be connected to these illicit operations.
As investigations continue, the authorities are working diligently to uncover the full extent of the criminal network and its activities within and beyond Guyana’s borders.
