A former policewoman who was dismissed over her suspected links to criminals is now among three persons detained following the discovery of an unlicenced 9mm firearm.
The detained persons are all members of a security firm.
Kaieteur News understands that police first arrested a man at Port Kaituma, North West District, with an unlicensed 9mm firearm in his possession.
A source said that the serial number had been filed off. The arrested man identified himself as an employee with a Georgetown-based security company and alleged that a supervisor had given him the gun.
Police reportedly then arrested the supervisor, who claimed that the ex-policewoman, who is also a supervisor, had given him the firearm.
The woman was then detained. Police said that charges are likely.
Kaieteur News was told that the woman was a member of the Guyana Police Force during the height of the crime wave, when ranks allegedly found her in a house on the East Coast Demerara in which a wanted man was hiding.
She was subsequently dismissed.
