Kaieteur News – A 28-year-old contractor is now in police custody after he was nabbed with a loaded illegal gun in the vicinity of D’Urban Backlands, Georgetown.

Casell Nurse, a resident of Freeman Street, East La Penitence, Georgetown reportedly threw the gun on the ground when ranks on mobile patrol duty pulled up on a group of men congregating next to a shop on the evening of September 1.

“The ranks approached a male in the group who was wearing a white jersey and blue short pants”, police stated in a press release, adding, “as they were about five feet away from him, they observed that he retrieved a handgun from his pants waistline and threw it on the ground…”

One of the ranks immediately took possession of the weapon-a 9MM pistol. The gun, according to the police, was loaded with 15 live matching rounds of ammunition.

Police asked him if he had a firearm licence to carry the weapon and when he responded in the negative, he was arrested.

He remains in police custody.
