WIN MP Natasha Singh arrested, questioned over alleged firebombing of GPL substation

(Kaieteur News) – Law enforcement officers descended on the residence of We Invest in Nationhood (WIN) Member of Parliament, Natasha Singh Friday evening, executing a search warrant in connection with the recent firebombing of the Guyana Power and Light (GPL) substation at Good Hope, East Coast Demerara.

The operation, conducted between 17:00hrs and 17:45hrs on November 13, unfolded soon after President Irfaan Ali vowed to “crush, crush, crush” any actions aimed at destabilising the country. Following the search, during which ranks seized four laptops, two tablets, seven cellular phones, 56 flash drives, three SD cards, and a DVD, Singh was escorted to the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) Headquarters, questioned, and subsequently released, according to a Guyana Police Force (GPF) Corporate Communications Unit press release.

Addressing the nation, President Ali linked the substation attack to a broader, centrally coordinated conspiracy involving intelligence on the possible movement of senior members of the Venezuelan transnational criminal syndicate Tren de Aragua. “What I can tell you is that the intelligence sources and intelligence agencies in collaboration with our partners have provided credible information that there is an engagement with actors that are not safe for a country and part of the criminal network that you have alluded to,” the president said, adding that Guyana’s security systems and international partnerships will “crush, to crush, to crush all actors who seek to destabilise and or harm our state or any citizen.”
