A former senior accounting executive of a major telecommunications company has been arrested and is currently under investigation in connection with an alleged GY$153.9 million fraud, according to the Guyana Police Force.

Police identified the suspect as Quincy Baird, a 37-year-old resident of Herstelling, East Bank Demerara. He is being investigated for the offence of larceny by clerk or servant, an allegation tied to financial irregularities reportedly committed between July 1, 2021 and February 18, 2025.
