Police are in possession of a .38 snub-nosed revolver and two spent shells they recovered from one of two men who were involved in a fight at Kanaruk, Mahdia.
The incident reportedly occurred yesterday.
A police release stated that Festus Benn and Gary Boucher had an argument that escalated into a fight, during which Boucher, who allegedly had the firearm, discharged two rounds. He missed.
Benn managed to take away the weapon and promptly handed it over to the law enforcers. Boucher is currently in custody.
Meanwhile, police on Sunday recovered a firearm from a minibus passenger at Providence, East Bank Demerara.
A release stated that at around 14.10hrs, police, acting on information intercepted a route 42 mini bus, on Providence Public Road.
During a search of one of the occupants, the ranks found a .32 pistol along with eight live .32 rounds tucked in the passenger’s pants waist.
The man was taken into custody and charges will be instituted shortly.
