A joint police/army squad descended on the East coast village of Buxton in Guyana, arresting 112 persons and searching about 350 homes. Among those arrested were three wanted men.
Local newspapers reported about 400 lawmen were involved in `Operation Stiletto.' They had tents pitched in certain parts of the village. The drive is aimed at flushing out criminals. A large amount of homes were searched for weapons and suspects.
Meanwhile Opposition Leader, Robert Corbin condemned the joint operation in Buxton. He called it a breach of constitutional rights.
