Contractor in custody

The building contractor who allegedly bilked people of thousands of dollars, leaving a trail of bounced cheques at building supply companies, is now in police custody.
The Guyanese national who has been living in Barbados for several years was held while shopping at a Christ Church supermarket on Monday night, a day after the SUNDAY SUN broke the story.
Police Public Relations Officer Inspector David Welch said yesterday that the suspect had been detained for questioning.
“We are conducting investigations into several reports which were received by the police” he stated. (MB)
