Home News Sophia duo busted with ammo, knife & stolen cell phone
Two men were arrested late on Friday evening in Sophia, Greater Georgetown after they were found to have illegal ammunition, a knife, and a stolen cell phone.
Sean Millington, a 48-year-old security guard with no fixed place of abode, and Andel Bovell, a 22-year-old unemployed resident of ‘B’ Field Sophia, were taken into custody around 23:50h during a routine mobile patrol in the area.
It was reported that Police officers observed the two men walking together along Dennis Street, Sophia, acting suspiciously. After stopping the patrol vehicle, the officers approached the men and searched.
During the search, a .40 round of ammunition was found in the left pocket of Millington’s pants. When questioned about whether he held a firearm license, Millington responded negatively. He was subsequently informed of the offense and arrested.
Further investigation of Bovell revealed a Blue A25 cellular phone and a black-handled knife in a haversack he was carrying. Bovell was questioned about the cell phone but did not provide any information on its origin. He too was arrested.
Both suspects were escorted to the Ruimvelt Police Station in Georgetown, where the evidence was secured. The ammunition was marked, sealed in an evidence bag, and logged. Similarly, the cell phone and knife were also marked, sealed, and placed into evidence in the presence of the suspects.
Both Millington and Bovell remain in custody as investigations continue.
