Three held for illegal 9mm in car

Jan 10, 2016 News

Police on the West Demerara continue to be on the alert to ensure that they minimise criminal activity in their Division.
Yesterday, they were successful in taking another illegal weapon off the streets and might have been able to halt the progress of a gang that was wreaking havoc in La Parfaite Harmonie community.
Divisional Commander Stephen Mansell told this newspaper yesterday that his ranks were on patrol duty around 10:20 hours when they intercepted a car at Schoonard Public Road, which leads into La Parfaite Harmonie.
The occupants were ordered out while a search was carried on in their presence.
An alert policeman observed a bulge under a mat in the vehicle. A closer examination revealed a 9mm pistol with nine matching rounds of ammunition. The three men were promptly taken into custody.
The Commander said that apart from being charged for the illegal possession of the firearm and ammunition, the men will be placed on ID parade to see if they were involved in any of the criminal activities that were perpetrated in the area within the past few months.
“We had some hits in the Parfait area late last year and we will be investigating to see if they were involved,” the Commander said.
