An air conditioning technician was taken into custody on Wednesday after police found a .38 revolver and a single round of .32 ammunition in Herstelling, East Bank Demerara.
Based on reports received, on the day in question, a 39-year-old barber from the said village reported that a 27-year-old man had visited his home and threatened to shoot him.
As such, the suspect was arrested, and a search was carried out on his person and at his residence, but no firearm was found.
However, later in the day, the AC technician visited the Farm/Herstelling Police Station in connection with the same matter. While there, he started to behave in a disorderly manner; as such, he was cautioned but continued, resulting in his arrest.
A search of his person revealed one live .32 round of ammunition. This prompted the police to search his residence, during which a .38 revolver was found concealed in a bag in the sitting room area. Both men remain in custody pending investigations and charges.
