Persons who appeared to be public spirited stole the firearm of a city resident who was knocked unconscious as a result of a road accident.

Kaieteur News understands that following the accident, Cappell was picked up in an unconscious condition by persons unknown and taken to the Georgetown Public Hospital.

After regaining consciousness, Cappell realized that his .32 Taurus pistol with 14 matching rounds which were in his right side pants pocket was missing.

Meanwhile, police in Berbice have recovered another illegal firearm.

According to reports, the police, acting on information, went to the home of Martin Garnett, a labourer of 76 Grant 1780, Crabwood Creek, where a search was conducted.
