Man wanted for armed robberies arrested in house at Peter’s Hall
An intelligence-led operation on Monday led to the arrest of 29-year-old Corwin Estwick, who was wanted by Police for a series of armed robberies committed in Region Three (Essequibo Islands-West Demerara).
Police stated that on the day in question at about 10:15h, ranks of the Guyana Police Force conducted an operation at a house in Peter’s Hall, East Bank Demerara (EBD), which resulted in the arrest of the wanted man.
At the time of his arrest, he had a GR 43 Glock pistol and four 9mm live rounds of ammunition in his possession, which was also recovered.
Based on reports received, Police officers went to a Peter’s Hall property in search of Estwick, where they found him sitting on a chair in the living area with a black one-strap bag across his chest.
After identifying themselves as policemen in plain clothes, one of the ranks then conducted a search of his person during which the firearm was found.
A further search was carried out in the house and around the yard, but nothing illegal was found.
He was escorted to the Providence Police Station, where the firearm and ammunition were marked and sealed in his presence. He was placed into custody pending further investigation.
Estwick is no stranger to the law. Back in 2020, he was charged with conspiracy to commit a felony, having been linked to the alleged damaging of a car belonging to ex-cop Teon Allen, also known as “Spoil Child”.
