– Revolver, 12 matching rounds found
Swift action by ranks on mobile patrol led to the arrest of a lone gunman around 13:00 hrs yesterday, minutes
after he had robbed a domestic worker on the Good Hope Public Road, East Coast Demerara (ECD).
The gunman has been identified as 24-year-old Horice Weekes of Sparendam, ECD.
He is in police custody assisting with the investigation.
Kaieteur News understands that 54-year-old Bibi Deonarine had just disembarked a mini bus when the bandit approached her on a bicycle and placed a gun to her neck and relived her of the little money she had in her possession, in full view of bewildered residents.
He had not gotten far when a mobile police patrol happened to be travelling through the area.
This newspaper was told that an angry onlooker alerted the ranks and gave a description of the gunman.
The ranks were pointed in the direction in which the bandit fled.
The ranks gave chase and managed to corner him in a yard at Plaisance, ECD.
The domestic worker’s bag was recovered and a revolver with 12 matching rounds was found in Weekes’ possession.
The bandit reportedly told police that he had purchased the weapon from a man in the interior.
Investigations are ongoing.
