Police ranks, in collaboration with a private security officer, conducted an intelligence-led operation on Friday afternoon in the Grant Sand Road area at Soesdyke, where several men were seen on the road leading to the sandpit.
The ranks approached about sixty feet away from the men and they ran farther into the abandoned sandpit and disappeared.
The area was searched and a 9mm Grand Power semi-automatic pistol with three live rounds wrapped in a white plastic bag, was retrieved.
The area was checked but the men were not seen. There are no houses or CCTV cameras in the area. The records were checked and it was confirmed that the said firearm was reported stolen during a robbery with violence committed onย Colin Samuels, a 27-year-old security guard of Sheriff Security Service, which was allegedly stolen on 2023/11/06 while he was on duty at Gulf Engineering Company at Land of Canaan, EBD. The firearm and ammunition were lodged pending investigation.
