Three Spanish-speaking men are wanted for the bomb attacks on a Guyana Police Force (GPF) outpost and a Guyana Power and Light substation earlier this month.
The GPF released pictures of the three men, but did not know their names or their nationalities.
A police spokesman told Demerara Waves Online News that the police know the suspects are Spanish-speaking.
The spokesman could not say how the three men were linked to the attacks on May 17, 2025.
The GPF is appealing to the public to come forward with any information about the wanted men by contacting 225-6940, 225-8196, 226- 7476, 225-2317, 225-8196, 227-1149 or the nearest police station.
The explosions ripped off the back gate to the East Ruimveldt outpost as well as shattered part of a reinforced concrete base and twisted the steel base of a pole.
Head of the Criminal Investigations Department, Deputy Commissioner Wendell Blanhum had said shortly after the explosions that “a quantity of bolts and nuts, along with debris of a shattered hard plastic container” had been retrieved from the police outpost scene.
The bomb attacks coincide with the shooting of Guyanese soldiers, while they were on the Cuyuni River between Guyana and Venezuela.
The four attacks, including one that left six soldiers injured, was carried out by civilian-dressed men from the Venezuelan bank of the river which is part of Guyanese territory, the GDF had said.
The opposition People’s National Congress Reform-led A Partnership for National Unity, and the Alliance For Change had repeatedly urged greater scrutiny and screening of Venezuelans entering Guyana.
Home Affairs Minister Robeson Benn earlier this year said sleeper agents had been expelled from Guyana.
