Man nabbed with friend’s gun at 3:00 a.m

May 16, 2008 News

Police have detained a licenced firearm holder after he gave a fictitious explanation of how his shotgun ended up in the hands of another Rosignol, West Bank Berbice resident.

The friend, too, was taken into custody after the weapon was found during a search of his house early yesterday morning.

Reports reaching this newspaper stated that at around 03:30 hours, a police mobile patrol spotted a man on a bicycle and carrying what appeared to be a long gun in a bag.

When he was confronted, the man jumped off the bicycle and fled with the bag into a nearby cane field and disappeared.

Acting on information later yesterday, the police searched a house at Rosignol and found the shotgun which was still in the bag that the man they had seen earlier was carrying.

A check of the weapon revealed that it belonged to a licenced firearm holder.
When contacted, the owner of the weapon told police that he and the man had been hunting.
He claimed that he sustained an injury and gave the man the weapon to take to his home and while the man was in the process of doing so that the police confronted him.
The police did not believe his story. Both men are expected to be charged soon.
