| Following the torching of the safe at the Grove Post Office on Sunday night, and the unsuccessful attempt on two others, the police are yet to question anyone in relation to the incident.At this time also, the management of the Guyana Post Office Corporation (GPOC) is not sure if the attack was an ‘inside job.’Chairman of the GPOC, Bishop Juan Edghill,Cheap Adidas Sneakers Online, told Kaieteur News yesterday that although the police have not taken anyone into custody; it is too early for the board to make a definitive position on the matter.Bishop Edghill explained that the corporation is fully cooperating with the police force, while its own security service is doing separate investigations.Meanwhile, as it relates to the ongoing issue between the GPOC and the 19 postmasters,Air Max 90 Essential White And Black Mens, Bishop Edghill said that the union has not contacted them as yet, and as far as he is aware that no industrial action has been taken by the workers as yet.However, yesterday staff at the GPOC office in Robb Street received a fire scare around 11:15 hrs.A press statement from the GPOC yesterday stated that an unusually strong scent akin to that of carbon or burning tyres was experienced by those present at various sections of the Guyana Post Office Corporation building on Robb Street Georgetown.As a precautionary measure staff, officials from other departments,Air Max 97 Undefeated White, tenants and customers were asked to evacuate the building.
