ACTING on information from partners of the police, ranks in Linden on Thursday afternoon swooped down on a house at Lot 99, Block 22 Wismar where they discovered ten live rounds for a .32 weapon.

The police arrested a young man who lived in the house and whose name was given as Andre Walcott. The house where the find was made is said to be the property of Walcott’s father but the younger Walcott was arrested since he resides at the location.
The Guyana Chronicle was told by persons close to the investigation that the ranks received information that the man is usually seen in possession of ammunition and persons are aware that he is not a license firearm holder nor is he a member of the armed forces.

The police did not find any firearm and the man was taken into police custody where he was assisting them with investigations up to late yesterday afternoon. (Leroy Smith)
