GUYANA – Police have discovered 880 rounds of ammunition in a house at Buxton, East Coast Demerara (ECD) on Friday after ranks of the Guyana Police Force responded to a domestic violence report.
According to a statement from the police via their Facebook page: “The ranks were at the time responding to a report of alleged threats related to Domestic Violence, during which they proceeded to the home of the suspect, a 26-year-old Security Officer and met the suspect’s 22-year-old wife, who is also a Security Officer.”
Upon arrival at the couple’s home on Library Road, Buxton checks were made, but the suspect was not on the premises. Acting on information received, further checks were made and two small bottles were discovered, with what appeared to be .22 rounds. The ammunition was collected by the ranks and taken to the Vigilance Police Station, where they were processed for latent prints in the presence of the suspect’s wife.
“Thereafter, the ammunition was counted, amounting to 880 rounds,” police said. The rounds were photographed and lodged and statements were taken from the suspect’s wife. Checks were made in the area for the suspect, but he wasn’t located. Investigations are ongoing. (Kaieteur News)
