Home News Wife arrested, husband in hiding after discovery of ganja, spent shell
A 41-year-old woman was taken into custody and the Police are on the hunt for a 37-year-old man following the discovery of two grams of cannabis and a .32 spent shell at Anna Catherina Side Line Dam, West Coast Demerara (WCD), on Saturday.
Police stated that acting on information received that a male was discharging several rounds in the air with a handgun at the said location, a team of detectives attached to the Leonora Police Station visited the area.
Whilst there, the ranks contacted the female and informed her of the report they would have received that her husband was discharging a loaded firearm behind their home.
The woman informed the ranks that the suspect was not at home. However, a search was then conducted on the premises during which the .32 spent shell was found.
A further search unearthed a transparent ziplock bag containing the small amount of ganja. The woman was told of the offences and under caution, she replied saying, “That is my husband thing he does smoke weed and he put it deh”.
The woman was taken to the Leonora Police Station, where the suspected cannabis was weighed and amounted to 2 grams. Both the spent shell and cannabis were lodged.
Checks for the suspect proved futile while his wife remains in custody pending investigations.
