May 21, 2010 News

– five held with gun, ammo

ROSE HALL TOWN, CORENTYNE – Five men in Berbice were detained by police yesterday, after a random search of a car unearthed an unlicensed .38 revolver. Stashed in the vehicle also were two toques and six live nine mm rounds of ammunition. The vehicle has been impounded as the investigation continues.
According to a police source, after being interrogated, one of the suspects, who hails from Williamsburg, Corentyne, allegedly claimed ownership of the weapon and ammunition. He reportedly confessed to police that they were heading to an Alness Village destination to commit a robbery.
The discovery was made when a mobile patrol operating in Rose Hall Town intercepted the car, HB 7759, in the vicinity of Cemetery Road, Rose Hall, at about 06:15 hours.
An identification parade is soon to be held. Two of the detainees are from Williamsburg, two from Fyrish and one from Auchlyne Village on the Corentyne. Of the five men, two are known to police.
One of them is wanted for questioning in connection with a robbery committed on the Sattaur Supermarket in East Canje earlier this year.
