The man, who allegedly lobbed a grenade and opened fire on police, was arrested and confirmed as one four persons who burnt down the Ministry of Health on Brickdam and also created a morning of mayhem on several government facilities during a failed bid by Juliet Holder Allen, Mark Benschop and several overseas based Guyanese to instill fear in PPP supporters.
Police said Colin Jones also known as ‘Bonny’ was arrested around 2:30 am Friday, after he emerged from the bushes. He was taken to hospital for treatment to a gunshot wound to his back that he sustained late Thursday in an exchange of gunfire with police. He had also lobbed a grenade at police.
Police also found an AK-47 assault rifle, several rounds of ammunition, one bullet-proof vest and a haversack with a pocket book containing several telephone numbers titled 'Mark Benschop' on a farm at the back of Amelia’s Ward where he and at least four other persons were hiding.
No firearm was found in Jones’ possession and police are searching for a hand-gun that they said he used on Thursday to fire several shots at them.
Police encountered Jones on Thursday after a man reported that he had seen the fugitive on the farm. Several raids had been conducted on the farm before but police had come up empty-handed.
Once again the Guyana Police Force should be highly praised for this high profile criminal and bring him to force the law alive.....When I red this story the lad is only 21 years old and is not in any position to comment such acts on his own...it therefore means that there are mastermind(s) behind him...and the target he choose was politically motivated....I wonder if any of the political opponents of the state had anything to do with it....He's alive and will tell who exactly who put him up to it....who knows when he speaks the ruling administration my win next year's election by a wider margin....because the consituentients will know who are the sheep and whose hiding in sheep's clothing
ReplyDeleteWell this isn't a shocker! This just exposes Benschop once again for being the low criminal he really is, he should take his protests and shove it u his ass...
ReplyDeletewell well mark benschop once again, when was cobra on the run he state that cobra contacted him,but now his phone number was found in the criminal cell phone.now this man has the nerve to go into the street of guyana and want to protest.
ReplyDeletethese criminal always seem to have mark number phone number the guyana police need to keep a close eye on him
ReplyDeleteThis is not surprise cause Benschop cause since the Ministry fire he was being finger in it and now that they criminals have been caught and his numbers appear show that this man is involved in certain crimes that are happen in Guyana.......
ReplyDeleteAccording to source that Benschop wanted to boycott his criminal which came to row and some members of the gang were killed but when will Benschop end this criminal enterprise which he used to get money........He needs to be arrested and brought before the courts......
ReplyDeleteIt is quite extreme to see that most if not all criminal acts similar in nature to this, Benschop's name keeps being surfaced some way or the other. Benschop is a meddling thief and big time nasty felon who should be thrown behind bars because he is certainly a danger to the wellbeing of the citizens of Guyana.
