A .38 Taurus revolver was on Thursday found along with four rounds at a La Parfaite Harmonie home on Thursday during a search by ranks of the Guyana Police Force.
According to the police, in addition to the unlicensed firearm, two men were also arrested for questioning in relation to the recent armed robbery committed on Full Works Auto Sales last week.
Up to press time both men were still in police custody.
According to the proprietor Mohammed Ali, of the Fullworks Auto Parts located at lot 58 Public Road, Good Hope, around 14:20 hours, two men came into the shop.
“Two man come in the shop and asked about a car front so when me explain to them the cost and was going to show them what me have, one a dem pull out a gun and said give we de money,” Ali said.
The still visibly shaken man added that at the time of the robbery there were three customers at the counter. They were also robbed of their valuables that included gold chains, cash and mobile phones. The men then turned the gun on the cashier and demanded her to take them to the cash register.
According to Ali, the men ordered the customers and staff to lie face down on the ground. They then gun butted one of the customers to the nose before escaping in a motor car which was parked a few meters away from the premises.
A differently able staff was also gun butted to the back of his head while on the ground. Both injured men were taken to the Georgetown Public Hospital for medical treatment.
The shaken cashier, who declined to be identified, said that while in the small booth, the gunman began to shout at her to open the register. She added that when the money was placed in a bag she was then dragged out and placed on the ground to lie with the others.
Ali said that the money stolen represented the day’s sale.  Ali told the media that this was not the first time that his business has been robbed. He added that earlier this year bandits broke and entered his Georgetown branch and stole a substantial amount of money.
