POLICE uncovered a large quantity of ammunition during a response to a domestic violence report on Friday at a residence in Buxton Library Road, East Coast Demerara.

According to the Guyana Police Force, officers at the time were responding to an allegation involving threats linked to domestic violence when they visited the home of the alleged suspect—a 26-year-old security officer. Upon arrival, the ranks met the suspect’s 22-year-old wife, who is also employed as a security officer. The suspect himself was not at home at the time, and further efforts to contact him were unsuccessful.

Acting on specific information, police searched the premises, which led to the discovery of two small bottles containing what appeared to be .22 calibre rounds. The items were seized and taken to the Vigilance Police Station where they were processed in the presence of the suspect’s wife.

A total of 880 rounds of .22 ammunition were counted and lodged as evidence. Photographs were taken, and the bottles were processed for fingerprints as part of the ongoing investigation. Statements have been collected and efforts to locate the suspect continue. Police have confirmed that the investigation remains active.
