(Demerara Waves) – The Guyana Police Force’s Special Organised Unit (SOCU) Wednesday night released a video to back up its claim that an illegal cambio was busted at the now shuttered Mohamed’s Enterprise on Lombard Street, but proprietor Azruddin Mohamed denied that foreign exchange trading was being done at the location.
“The search was conducted based on credible information that the cambio was operating even though the license was revoked. Essentially, this information led the law enforcement agencies to conduct operations which proved that the information of continued Cambio services without the required license was credible,” SOCU alleged.
The video, which was time-stamped January 27, 2026, and released by the police force shows one of the men, who was arrested on Wednesday giving a woman money through a cashier cage.
It appeared that the person, who went to conduct what appeared to be a transaction, was wired with a video recording device.
However, Mr Mohamed denied that an illegal cambio was being operated there.
