Man drops bag with AK-47, AR-15 rifles after cops show up
Kaieteur News – A man on Thursday dropped a haversack containing two high-powered rifles and matching ammunition and ran away after patrol ranks showed up at Norton Street, Georgetown.
The ranks, according to a statement by the Guyana Police Force (GPF), were conducting duties in Norton Street when they saw the suspect holding a bulky green and orange haversack.
The weapons and ammunition found in the haversack dropped by the suspect.
“As the man saw the police ranks, he began to run through an alley in a northern direction, dropping the haversack,” police said.
After their chase proved futile, the ranks opened the haversack and found “one AK-47 assault rifle and one AR-15 rifle along with two magazines filled with live ammunition”.
Investigators have since dusted the weapons for fingerprints with hopes of linking them to the suspect.
Investigations are ongoing.
