Yesterday the Guyana Police Force stepped up its investigations into the discovery of the cache of arms and ammunition which were found on a city wharf on Friday. The police have already commenced collaboration with the various agencies to get to the bottom of who are the players in the gun operation.Yesterday the Guyana Chronicle was reliably informed that the police are seeking a known character who was in the past arrested for possession of arms and ammunition and who is now fingered in the recent arms and ammunition find.
Meanwhile, the 23-year-old man from Friendship, East Coast Demerara, who held by the police, remains in custody.
He is likely to be passed through the courts sometime this week, once the police are able to complete their initial investigations into the matter.
On Friday evening the young man told the police that he has no idea what was in the shipment he had gone to uplift.
The package contained two AK-47 assault rifles, and 15 pistols, along with a military haversack, a bullet proof vest and communication equipment.
