While responding to a domestic violence report, police discovered some 880 rounds of .22 ammunition at a house in Buxton Library Road, East Coast Demerara (ECD).
The discovery was made on Friday during a search of the home of a 26-year-old security officer, who was not present at the time.
Upon arrival, police reports stated that officers met with the suspect’s wife, a 22-year-old security officer. She informed police that her husband was not home and could not be reached.

Based on gathered information, the officers proceeded with a search and found two small bottles containing the .22 rounds.
