Gang member among 4 arrested following rapid gunfire in Linden

Four persons are now in Police custody for allegedly discharging a loaded firearm in the wee hours of Friday at Speightland, Kara Kara, Mackenzie Linden, Region Ten (Upper Demerara-Berbice).
Based on reports received, Police were on mobile patrol in the vicinity of Five Corner, Mackenzie Linden when loud rapid explosions which sounded like gunshots were heard.
As a result, the ranks went to Speightland, Kara Kara, Mackenzie Linden, where they observed a black motorcar travelling towards the Police vehicle at a fast rate.
The ranks managed to intercept the car, during which an identifiable male exited the vehicle from the front passenger side, discharged a round in the direction of the ranks, and drove off.
In response, the ranks pursued the motorcar, which subsequently crashed into the fence of the Mackenzie Sports Club.
The male then exited the car, climbed onto the fence, and began running, while an identifiable female was seen crawling out of the car. Upon seeing this, the ranks went behind the duo, thus resulting in the arrest of the male who was found hiding in a clump of bushes.
The Police have said that another identifiable male, who was also an occupant of the said motorcar, made good his escape.
Meanwhile, the Police went to the scene where the loud rapid explosions were heard and conducted a search. Four 9mm spent shells were found in a yard at Speightland, Kara Kara. In addition to the male who was caught while trying to evade Police, three others were arrested as investigations continue.
