After almost an hour of chasing a suspicious car with fake registration plates, the Police took three men, including an ex-Guyana Police Force (GPF) officer, into custody on Monday morning.

During interrogations, two of the men gave their identities as Eloy Livan, 28, of Lot 47 Richards Town, Lusignan, East Coast Demerara and Devon Chase, 30, of Hill Street, Albouystown. The third suspect refused to cooperate with the Police.
Reports are Police ranks observed a heavily tinted motor car with a suspected fake number plate on Regent Street, Georgetown and approached it. However, upon recognising the Police, the occupants of the motor car drove away and the ranks gave chase.
After driving through several streets in Georgetown, the driver of the tinted vehicle lost control and ended up in a ditch.
The real registration number was covered by a fake registration number
The Police have since recovered a 9mm pistol and 10 live rounds of ammunition. Police are trying to ascertain the owner of the vehicle, and will also conduct a ballistic test on the gun to determine if it was used to commit any crimes.
