Man, wife arrested for unlawful possession of gun

Guyana Times understands that police, acting on intelligence received on Saturday afternoon, swooped down on the home of a 41-year-old businessman and his 40-year-old wife at Helena #1 Mahaica, East Coast Demerara.
After conducting a thorough search, they unearthed, in the bedroom that the duo shared, an unlicensed .32 pistol with 50 matching rounds of ammunition and 17 live rounds of 9mm ammunition. 
The businessman was arrested, and while being detained at the Mahaica Police Station, his wife visited and allegedly offered a bribe of $525,000 to one of the investigating ranks to have the police abort the investigations and release her husband.
The woman’s action was relayed to the rank’s superiors, and she also was detained, while the “bribe money” was lodged. They both are expected to be arraigned in court sometime this week.
Between Saturday and Sunday, “C” Division police have carried out several sting operations and arrested a total of 17 persons for various criminal offences. One of those arrested is a 49-year-old who attempted to traffic narcotics.
Four motorcycles suspected to have been stolen or unlawfully obtained have also been seized.
