A man was yesterday arrested and is awaiting charges for illegal possession of a gun and ammunition while his accomplice is out on station bail.
According to a Guyana Police Force release, the two men were arrested on separate days after a gun was allegedly pointed at a police officer outside of Burger King at Camp and Regent streets. The police were acting on information received on Sunday at 12:30hrs, when they went to Burger King at Camp and Regent streets in Georgetown, where they saw two men. A police corporal approached the two men, one of whom then drew a suspected firearm from his pants crotch and pointed it at the officer.
