Firearm found, two men in custody for Tucville shooting incident

Two men are in police custody following a shooting incident in Tucville, Georgetown, Saturday night.
It was reported that police officers on mobile patrol received information around 23:00h and responded to an area between Perry and Saman Streets, where they heard two loud explosions that sounded like gunshots.
Upon investigating, officers observed three males running east along the street.
The ranks pursued the suspects and apprehended one individual, identified as 31-year-old Darwin Bennons, known as ‘Dirty’ a vendor from Meadowbrook Housing Scheme.
Bennons was found holding a Sig Sauer 9mm pistol in his right hand. Police seized the firearm and discovered that the magazine did not contain any ammunition.
When questioned, Bennons revealed that he did not possess a firearm licence.
He was arrested and cautioned for the offence.
Police continued their search in the area and arrested a second man, 18-year-old Ronald Gilbert, a labourer from Meadowbrook, who was also taken into custody.
Further searches at the men’s homes revealed no illegal items.
The firearm was taken to the East La Penitence Police Station, where it was dusted for fingerprints, though no prints were found.
The weapon was subsequently marked, sealed in an evidence bag, and sent to Ballistics for analysis.
Both Bennons and Gilbert remain in custody, assisting police with the ongoing investigation.
