-two women also detained following arms cache find
Police at Linden have captured Colin Jones, the suspect who escaped from the Providence Police Station last year after being arrested in connection with the July 17, 2009 fire that destroyed the Health Ministry building.
Jones is believed to be the same gunman who hurled a grenade at police ranks and shot at them on Thursday, shortly after an assault rifle and several rounds of ammunition were discovered on a farm aback of Amelia’s Ward, Linden.
Jones is said to be 21 and his last known address was given as Lot 3 West La Penitence, Georgetown.
He is reportedly being detained at the Mackenzie Police Station.
Kaieteur News understands the police have also detained an elderly Linden woman and her daughter in connection with the find.
Jones, along with Kurt Theriens, had escaped from the Providence Police Station shortly after being arrested in connection with the fire that razed the Health Ministry’s main buildings in Brickdam.
On Thursday, police recovered the assault rifle, 500 rounds of ammunition, eight magazines, four handcuffs and three camouflage vests on a farm.
According to a resident, a boy made the discovery while visiting his father’s farm. He immediately told his father who contacted the police.
Residents said that as police were heading for the area, they spotted a man, suspected to be Jones, walking up a hill. They immediately challenged the man, who threw a grenade at them before fleeing into the bushes.
