Police reported that at about 5:15h on Friday, ranks attached to the Sparendaam Police Station, East Coast Demerara (ECD) acted on information received and went to a two-bedroom house at Robert Road, Plaisance, ECD, where they found a quantity of narcotics, along with an illegal firearm and ammunition.
Based on reports received, upon arriving at the location, a search was conducted in the first bedroom of the house, in the presence of the two occupants – a 30-year-old labourer [of the said address], and a 23-year-old plumber who resides next door.

During the search, the ranks discovered a 12-gauge double-barrel shotgun with its serial number filed off and four live matching cartridges.
The suspects were asked if they were licensed firearm holders but remained silent. They were, however, then told of the offence committed, cautioned, and arrested.
A further search was conducted in the other bedroom in their presence, and a black plastic bag containing 286 transparent zip lock bags containing a quantity of suspected cannabis was also found.
The two suspects were told of the offence committed and were escorted to the Sparendaam Police Station along with the cannabis, which weighed and amounted to 580 grams.
They were placed in custody pending further investigations and charges.
Only a week ago, a 27-year-old unemployed male resident of Victoria Road in Plaisance, ECD was arrested after he was found with a quantity of ganja on his person.
This man was reportedly on Boxing Day, when a party of Police ranks was conducting surveillance in the vicinity of Victoria Road, Plaisance in a private vehicle.
The cops have said that while they were in the vicinity where the arrest was made, they saw the 27-year-old man standing on the street taking out a Ziplock bag from a black plastic bag that was alongside him. As such, they approached the man, and he started to walk away. However, they managed to stop him and conduct a search of his person.
During that search, they found in the waist of his pants a Ziplock bag containing a number of leaves, seeds, and stems suspected to be cannabis.
The black plastic bag was searched, and eight small Ziplock bags containing a number of leaves, seeds, and stems suspected to be cannabis were found.
The man was told of the offence committed and was arrested and escorted to the Sparendaam Police Station, where the cannabis, when weighed in his presence, amounted to 28 grams.
