(Kaieteur News) – Three persons were on Tuesday placed on $100,000 station bail each for damaging components of the Guyana Power and Light (GPL) network at La Penitence, Georgetown.
In a statement posted to its Facebook page, GPL said the power interruption customers experienced in the area was the result of a truck damaging a section of the network.
“According to reports, the vehicle, bearing registration number GYY 5259, was travelling north along the La Penitence Public Road when, upon turning west, it became entangled with overhead telephone cables, resulting in damage to GPL’s network and an interruption of electricity service to the area,” GPL said.
