Gun goes missing from Den Amstel Police Station
Seven years after a firearm went missing from the Den Amstel Police Station, businessman Farouk Ali says that he is yet to receive any word from the police. According to Ali, who is a licenced firearm holder, he had lodged his weapon at the station several years ago when he was leaving the country.

Ali explained that he was preparing to leave Guyana, when he lodged his firearm. Upon his return to Guyana some three weeks later to uplift the firearm, no one could give account for it. The man said from what ranks had told him, is that someone purporting to be him had uplifted the weapon.
The strange and scary thing about that he said was that someone without proper identification was able to uplift his firearm.
He told Kaieteur News that an investigation was launched into the missing firearm, but it’s now seven years and still no one has told him anything.
Last December Ali said he went back to the police, this time at the Leonora station. At the station, he said he spoke to Assistant Superintendent Paul who took his name and contact number. Ali said that the policeman is yet to contact him some seven months later.
