Busi­ness­man Dan­ny Guer­ra has been ar­rest­ed on a Pre­ven­tive De­ten­tion Or­der (PDO).

The 50-year-old of North Oropouche Road in San­gre Grande, was held by of­fi­cers of the Spe­cial In­ves­ti­ga­tions Unit (SIU) this af­ter­noon.

Guardian Me­dia con­firmed the pro­pri­etor of DG Homes, a re­al es­tate com­pa­ny with hous­ing es­tates in sev­er­al parts of the coun­try – was tak­en to the East­ern Cor­rec­tion­al Re­ha­bil­i­ta­tion Cen­tre (ECRC) in San­ta Rosa, where he will re­main for the time be­ing.

Pressed to say if Guer­ra would be re­lo­cat­ed to the Teteron Bar­racks in Ch­aguara­mas – a se­nior po­lice of­fi­cial said, “It is too ear­ly to de­ter­mine if he will be moved at this time.”

Guer­ra, along with his son, Garvin Guer­ra, 28; and 16 oth­ers were de­tained af­ter a ma­jor po­lice op­er­a­tion on Oc­to­ber 9, which re­sult­ed in the shut­ting down of an il­le­gal quar­ry site at Manuel Con­go in Gua­napo, and led to the seizure of a mul­ti-mil­lion dol­lar pro­cess­ing plant, trucks and oth­er heavy ma­chin­ery.
