(Kaieteur News) – Ranks of the Guyana Police Force (GPF) in Regional Division Six (East Berbice-Corentyne) have discovered firearms, ammunition and a quantity of what is suspected to be cannabis after they carried out an Intelligence-backed operation at Cromarty Village, Corentyne, Berbice.
Led by senior officers, the ranks swooped down on a residence on November 18 and conducted a thorough search of the premises belonging to a 43-year-old farmer and his 55-year-old partner, a part-time worker, both of Cromarty Farm.
Police reports stated that ranks recovered one .32 firearm under a mattress in a bedroom during the search operation, along with one .32 round. The ranks also discovered two additional .32 rounds in another section of the home, along with three small transparent zip-lock bags containing leaves, seeds and stems suspected to be cannabis.
The two individuals were then told of the offence and were arrested. The narcotics were weighed in their presence and amounted to eight grams and was lodged along with the firearm and ammunition.
The duo remains in custody as investigations continue.
