The residents, who first lit tyres and stopped traffic in the West Ruimveldt area - one of the main routes to the Cheddi Jagan International Airport on Wednesday night - took to the streets again on Friday but were prevented from blocking the roadway by heavily-armed riot police who kept watch over the area.
