A resident of Plaisance, East Coast Demerara was on Thursday arrested during a ‘cordon and search’ exercise conducted along Victoria Road in Plaisance.
That exercise started at about 05:30h and lasted for about two hours, during which the 29-year-old Britton Street resident was nabbed with an unlicensed firearm and 12 matching rounds of ammunition. Police have said that at about 05:30h on Thursday, while a patrol was on Victoria Road Plaisance, the suspect was seen riding a black bicycle heading in a southerly direction.
The ranks stopped him, and a search carried out on his person unearthed a Taurus semi-automatic .32 pistol with a magazine containing 12 matching rounds in the waist of his pants.
The suspect was informed of the offence, cautioned and arrested. He is assisting with the investigations.
