The boat at the centre of the US$11.5M gold heist reportedly left Guyana in June. This is according to information from Commissioner of Police Leroy Brumell who spoke with reporters on Wednesday morning.
“It came the 17th of June and left the 19th of June. We got a name, we got an address, we did some work and we’re still looking,” Brumell said.
Authorities say searches for the owner of the ship have come up empty handed. The owner, according to high level sources, was deported from the United States several years ago and has since been living in another country.
Investigations are still underway to determine whether the more than 400 pounds of the precious metal was smuggled out of Guyana to Curacao where the robbery occurred. Reports say the stolen consignment consisted of some 70 gold bars which bore no seal to indicate that they had passed through the proper channels.
Six masked men wearing police gear reportedly stormed the ship around 4AM on November 30 as it was docked in Curacao.
