A discovery of 111 rounds of ‘7.62’ by ’39’ ammunition was made some time yesterday at the Haags/ Bosch dumpsite, Eccles Industrial Site, East Bank Demerara after garbage collectors began dumping their loads of refuse.
Reports are that shortly after 10:00hrs, workmen on the site found the rounds which were secured in black plastic bags.
It was suggested that there might have been a raid by the police and the persons who had these rounds in their possession probably “stashed” the items in a garbage bin.
Before they could retrieve the ammunition the garbage collectors had already begun picking up refuse for disposal at the dumpsite.
