Police are investigating an alleged attempt to burn the Arakaka Police Outpost, at Arakaka, North West District early Friday morning.
A police officer reportedly said he and other ranks were performing duties in the enquiries office when they heard a loud explosion.
The incident occurred at about 2:30 Friday morning.
Instantaneously, they saw a huge blaze to the front door of the building and the policemen on duty say they immediately rushed and extinguished the fire, Guyana Police Force spokesman, Assistant Commissioner Royston Andries-Junor said.
Further checks disclosed that the front door of the building was scorched and a partly burnt five gallon bottle was at the front door.
