FOUR men were arrested during the wee hours of Independence Day, after police discovered guns and ammunition following separate police searches at Main Street and Brickdam.
Law enforcement officers, acting on reports received about 3:40 hours on Wednesday, visited Main Street, where they intercepted a male, who is said to be from D’Urban Street, Lodge, Georgetown. One police officer identified himself to the suspect and requested to conduct a search on his person, to which he agreed.

During the search, one 9mm glock-19 pistol with serial number FLD 741, along with one matching round of ammunition was found in the suspect’s pants.
The suspect was told of the allegation, arrested and escorted to the Brickdam Police Station where the firearm and ammunition was marked, sealed and lodged.
Meanwhile, acting on further information, about 04:30 hours, officers travelled to Brickdam, in the vicinity of St. Stanislaus College, where three men were seen in a white Toyota Axio motorcar bearing registration number PYY-5049. After observing the men for some time, officers approached the vehicle and carried out a search on the men but nothing illegal was found. A search of the vehicle was subsequently done and one .32 taurus pistol with two matching rounds of ammunition were found under the driver’s seat.
The suspects were arrested and escorted to the Brickdam Police Station, where they remain in custody amid further investigations.
