Two Police ranks were on mobile patrol in the vicinity of Cracrana, Karasabai Village, South Pakaraimas on Sunday where they observed Vibert Thomas, a 29-year-old mason who was at the time riding a bicycle with a long metal object on his right shoulder.
The ranks, who were on patrol in a Police ATV, advanced towards Thomas, who dropped the metal object next to a mango tree and stood a short distance away from where he dropped the object. The ranks then picked up the object and checked it in the presence of Thomas. It was observed that it was a makeshift single-barrel shotgun.
