Sophia man nabbed with improvised gun at ‘street party’
Arrested: Anthony Bumbury
Anthony Bumbury, a labourer of Block ‘F’ in North Sophia, Greater Georgetown, has been arrested for being in possession of an improvised firearm and three rounds of ammunition.
The police have said that ranks of the Alberttown Police Station, acting on information received, proceeded to a ‘street party’ being held in Pike Street Sophia in the wee hours of Thursday, and made contact with the 24-year-old Bumbury, who was standing on the roadway.
The gun and ammunition found in Bumbury’s possession
The ranks conducted a search on Bumbury, and an improvised orange-coloured firearm and three rounds of 9mm ammunition were found on his person. Questioned whether he was the holder of a firearm licence, Bumbury replied, “No”.
He was thus escorted to the Alberttown Police Station and placed in custody. As investigations continue, the gun will be sent to the ballistics section of the GPF for analysis.
