Kaieteur News- A 52-year-old social worker reportedly called in the Police on Thursday afternoon after finding an illegal gun stashed in half bag of rice at her La Parfaite Harmonie, West Bank Demerara (WBD) home.
She reportedly called ranks from the La Parfaite Harmonie Police station and they showed up around 17: 25 hrs.
They found a .32 revolver wrapped in a plastic bag and concealed in the rice, police said.
