Another suspect charged in connection to explosion at police outpost in Guyana

Another suspect charged in connection to explosion at police outpost in Guyana

GEORGETOWN, Guyana (CMC) — A 28-year-old driver was placed on bail, mounting to one million dollars, after he was charged in relation to the explosion that occurred at a police outpost and the Guyana Power and Light (GPL) substation last month.

Jason Jacobis appeared in the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday, where he was charged with two counts of facilitating a terrorist act.

Jacobis was not required to plead to the indictable charges.

The prosecutor objected to bail, but it was granted with the condition that Jacobis lodge his passport and report to the police every Friday.

The case was adjourned to July 2.

Last week, Seon Carmichael, a 35-year-old minibus driver, was remanded to prison after being charged with facilitating two acts of terrorism.

Police have issued wanted bulletins for the three main suspects — two Venezuelans and a Brazilian known only as “Flavio Tasso”. Investigators say they have gathered CCTV footage and other evidence linking the men to the explosions. They remain on the run.

Jacobis surrendered to the police after noticing the wanted bulletins. He allegedly sold a vehicle to one of the suspects.

Police headquarters has been investigating the explosions at the outpost and the substation. It was previously reported that the gate of the East Ruimveldt Police outpost was blown off after an improvised explosive device was thrown at the facility by unknown individuals.

Police said the two incidents occurred around the same time on Saturday, May 17. So, authorities said they were investigating the possibility of a coordinated effort between the two incidents.
