Reportedly, they were acting on information received and a team of ranks headed by an Assistant Superintendent, visited the couple’s Vergenoegen, EBE home, on Saturday, where they met Ramotar.
One of the ranks informed the woman of the reason for their visit and she consented to a search of the premises.
During the search, which was conducted in the presence of Ramotar and Rivero, the ranks discovered a bulky plastic bag on top of a wardrobe in a bedroom.
“The bag, when opened in their presence contained a 9mm pistol with six matching 9mm rounds. Both Ramotar and Rivero were told of the offence committed and cautioned,” police said.
Aware she was under caution, the woman replied saying: โOfficer, I gave a boy an ounce of gold and he gave me the gun until he repay meโ.
