Police ranks on a mobile patrol on the East Bank of Demerara observed two males standing at a street corner at Land of Canaan, about 11:30 last night and on approaching they dropped a bag and quickly fled through the unlit street. A police press release today said that the bag was retrieved and found to contain a sub machine gun and a magazine with nine live 9mm rounds. The area was searched but the men were not found. The gun and ammunition were lodged.
