Shotguns, ganja found in abandoned house along Berbice River
The house that was searched
Two shotguns along with a quantity of ganja and other items were discovered during a seven-hour intelligence-led operation at Ebini, Upper Berbice River on Thursday.
Based on the reports received, police ranks travelled to the area where they observed two men in separate boats acting suspiciously. Upon seeing the police, the two men reportedly jumped out of their boats, ran into a yard, and escaped in the thick vegetation behind a wooden structure along the East Bank of the Berbice River.
