Trio busted with guns, ammo after Police intercept motor car

The police have taken three men into custody after intercepting a car in which they were travelling and discovering two pistols and several rounds of ammunition therein.
The Guyana Police Force has said that on Wednesday, at about 23:00h, ranks of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) special patrols and other ranks on anti-crime patrols, acting on information received, intercepted silver-grey Toyota Allion motorcar PAF 6829 on Durban Street, between Mandela Avenue and John Street in Lodge, with three occupants inside.

The car was being driven by Neagus Lamonzon, a 27-year-old security guard of Durban Street, Lodge; and the front seat passenger identified himself as 29-year-old Randolph Norton, a labourer of ‘A’ Field Sophia, while the back seat passenger identified himself as 28-year-old Jamal Hazel, a labourer of ‘A’ Field Sophia.
A search of the three men unearthed nothing illegal, but a search of the vehicle unearthed a Smith and Wesson .40 pistol, a magazine containing 13 rounds of .40 ammunition, a Glock 19 pistol with a magazine containing 18 rounds of 9mm ammunition, and one white box contain

ing 23 rounds of 9mm ammunition, all secured behind the deck of the vehicle.
Questioned in regard to the find, the men admitted to not having the necessary licences, and denied knowing about the firearms and ammunition. They were thus arrested and taken to the East La Penitence Police Station, where it was established that the vehicle is owned by the mother of Lamonzon, who resides in the United States. The trio are in police custody assisting with the investigations.
