YING Xin Su, the 30-year-old travel agent has secured bail after she was charged and remanded to prison two Tuesdays ago after facing charges of unlawful possession of a firearm and ammunition.
When the accused reappeared before Magistrate Dylon Bess at the Diamond/Golden Grove Magistrates’ Courts earlier this week, she was granted $400,000 bail.
She is being represented by attorneys Bernard Da Silva and Ganesh Hira.

While out on bail, the national of China is required to report to the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) Headquarters on the first Monday of every month.
The woman’s trial will begin on August 9, 2024 and continue on August 12, 2024

It is alleged that on July 9, 2024, she had a 9mm Glock pistol and 14 9mm rounds of ammunition in her possession, when she was not the holder of a firearm licence.
The charges against Ying Xin Su came several days after she was arrested, along with two Chinese males at a city hotel. Their arrest was a result of an inter-agency intelligence-led operation that involved gold-smuggling and other illegal activities.
The July 9, 2024 operation was a coordinated effort by various intelligence agencies, which led to the seizure of G$39 million and an unlicensed 9mm pistol with 15 matching rounds of ammunition. The police said that 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.
Meanwhile, last Monday, the Guyana Police Force (GPF) issued a wanted bulletin for a fourth Chinese citizen, following the recent dismantling of the transnational criminal network. This person is wanted for questioning in relation to money laundering and related serious offences.

He has been identified as Zhenjian Fang, a 44-year-old national of China , 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 confidentiality.
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
