GEORGETOWN, Guyana– The Guyana Police Force has launched a significant investigation following reports that a private jet heart was broken into while at the Cheddi Jagan International airport.
According to News Source last Wednesday, the aircraft, bearing registration number N111RE, flew officials from an international company to Guyana for meetings.
The plane was parked close to the hanger of the Guyana Defence Air Corps after its crew and passengers left for their two-day visit.
On Friday, when the pilots arrived to prepare for their departure, the aircraft’s main door was found to be breached and left slightly open.
An alarm was raised, and it was discovered that several small items, including liquor and other drinks, were missing from the aircraft.
There was no damage to the aircraft, leaving Guyana with its passengers on Friday for Brownsville, Texas.
The incident prompted the Guyana Police Force to launch a major investigation. Senior officials at the airport confirmed on the weekend that investigators visited the GDF Air Corps and questioned several ranks.
Meanwhile, the incident has renewed calls for increased security at the airport.
The article published by News Source quoted a senior aviation official saying that this is not the first time such an incident occurred at the airport. This points to a clear need for additional personnel and security equipment.
