5 busted with guns, ammo in Grove, EBD

Police in A Division (Georgetown-East Bank Demerara) have arrested five ‘known characters’ after a search conducted on their vehicle unearthed two unlicensed firearms along with several suspicious items.
The discovery was made around 09:30h during an intelligence-led operation commanded by a senior officer.
According to reports, the ranks intercepted a white Toyota Fielder Wagon at Samatta Point, Grove, East Bank Demerara (EBD), and the five male occupants were searched.
However, after nothing suspicious was found on their persons, a search was then carried out on the vehicle during which the ranks found a red and black haversack hidden under the back seat.
Upon examination, an unlicensed .45 Colt Pistol with four live rounds, an unlicensed 9mm Ruger Pistol with nine live rounds, a pair of ‘paste-on’ number plates, a black jersey, a knife, a camouflage cap, a door lock and a screwdriver were found.
The five suspects aged 27, 28, 29, 30 and 33 years, all residing on the East Bank of Demerara, have since been taken into custody and are being processed for court.
The Police said that the men were all known characters.
