Young businessman nabbed with firearm at Police roadblock

A 21-year-old businessman was taken into Police custody after he was found to be in possession of an illegal firearm and several rounds of ammunition at a Police roadblock at Triumph, East Coast Demerara (ECD).
Police stated that a white heavily-tinted Toyota Rumion motor car was stopped and searched during which a .40 Glock pistol (serial number unknown) with four matching rounds of ammunition was found in the pants crotch of the young businessman.
The suspect was immediately informed of the offence and cautioned. He was then escorted to the Beterverwagting Police Station, where he is currently in custody. An investigation is underway.
In 2022, 78 illegal firearms were seized, and several have already been found in the first quarter of 2023.
