Bikers  fined after ‘stunts’ on Bharrat Jagdeo Bridge

Four motorcyclists were fined after being charged with traffic offences following reports that a group was performing stunts and obstructing traffic on the Bharrat Jagdeo Demerara River Bridge.

In a statement, the police said footage of the motorcyclists’ activities had also been posted on Facebook.

Shakeel King of Stewartville Housing Scheme, Tron Ferrier of Stewartville, Sabastian Fagundes of Block Eight, Tuschen, and Sayvid Mandal of Uitvlugt were each charged with failing to carry an identification mark.

They were each fined $50,000, with an alternative of five weeks’ imprisonment.

Mortimer Fraser of De Kinderen was charged with using an uninsured motor vehicle and fined $25,000, with an alternative of two weeks’ imprisonment.

The police said the motorcyclists were arrested and charged on August 12 as part of enforcement efforts under the Motor Vehicles and Road Traffic Act.
