Two foreign nationals were taken into custody on Friday night after they were allegedly found in possession of an unlicensed revolver with matching rounds.
The police, in a press release, yesterday said that around 8.45pm, ranks were conducting a mobile patrol at Met-en-meerzorg, West Coast Demerara, when residents informed them of the “suspicious” behaviour of two men.
As a result, the police said the suspects were contacted and a search uncovered the unlicensed firearm and four live rounds in the custody of one of the men.
The men, who have been staying at Met-en-meerzorg and Cornelia Ida, were both arrested. The police said they are both residents of a neighbouring country.
