RANKS of the Anti-Terrorism Unit, led by a Cadet Officer, successfully recovered an unlicensed firearm on Sunday, March 30, 2025, after intercepting two suspicious individuals in the vicinity of Macaw Lane, South Ruimveldt, Georgetown.
At approximately 05:00 hours, the team was conducting a mobile patrol in the South Ruimveldt area when they observed two males on a motorcycle displaying suspicious behaviour. As the ranks attempted to intercept them, the suspects abandoned the motorcycle and fled into a nearby southern alleyway.

A subsequent search of the area led to the discovery of a .38 Taurus revolver, which was found in the alleyway without ammunition. The motorcycle, bearing registration number CP 152, was retrieved, and a check of the documents revealed that it was registered to a male resident of Norton Street, Lodge.
The firearm and motorcycle were transported to the East La Penitence Police Station, where forensic officers dusted the weapon for fingerprints, but none was found. The firearm was photographed, marked, placed in an evidence bag, and lodged for further ballistic analysis.

Investigators attempted to locate the motorcycle’s registered owner at the listed address, but the location could not be found. Authorities have confirmed that further investigations are ongoing as they work to trace the suspects and determine the firearm’s origin.
Law enforcement officials continue to urge the public to report any suspicious activity as they intensify efforts to curb illegal firearm possession and enhance community safety.
