Georgetown, Guyana – November 12, 2026: Late Thursday evening, the Guyana Police Force (GPF) revealed that a man taken into custody for the November 10 firebombing of the Guyana Power and Light (GPL) Good Hope substation on East Coast Demerara has disclosed that additional coordinated attacks on critical infrastructure are in the pipeline, with a planned imminent strike targeting a site within Georgetown city limits. The detained suspect confessed to investigators that he and an accomplice deployed a homemade Molotov cocktail, locally referred to as a “channa bomb,” at the substation facility on the night of Tuesday, November 10. According to GPL operational assessments, the unextinguished blaze would have triggered cascading failures across the Demerara-Berbice Interconnected System (DBIS), plunging tens of thousands of residential and commercial customers into extended, potentially days-long power outages that would have disrupted essential services from healthcare to food distribution. As of 9:12 p.m. Thursday, law enforcement officials confirmed they have one suspect in formal custody, with active manhunts underway for three additional individuals identified as co-conspirators in the plot: the detained suspect’s direct accomplice, and two other “criminal elements” who are alleged to have coordinated logistics and planned the firebombing operation. No official wanted bulletins had been publicly released at time of publication, though GPF emphasized that all investigative leads are being prioritized to bring the remaining suspects to custody. The GPF has urged all members of the public who hold information related to the substation attack, the planned Georgetown strike, or the whereabouts of the three wanted persons to contact their nearest local police precinct, or call the dedicated hotlines at 911, 225-6411, or 227-1149, with all submitted information guaranteed full confidentiality. Speaking earlier Thursday, President Irfaan Ali issued a stern public warning that all individuals linked to the attack – including the masterminds behind the plot who did not physically participate in the firebombing – will face full legal prosecution, with charges ranging from conspiracy and aiding and abetting to attempted offenses and formal terrorism charges, should evidence meet the statutory thresholds for such classifications. The developing investigation comes amid a recent string of high-profile targeted attacks on critical infrastructure and public sites across Guyana: in May 2025, synchronized explosions damaged both the Ruimveldt police outpost and a separate GPL substation on Mandela Avenue, with initial witness reports identifying the suspects as Spanish-speaking men. Earlier on the day of this week’s substation attack announcement, a city magistrate formally ordered a Venezuelan national and two additional co-defendants to stand trial in the High Court on terrorism charges stemming from the October 2025 bombing of the Mobil gas station at the intersection of Regent and King Streets in central Georgetown.
