Police yesterday found 11 fragmentation and four concussions grenades, two blank and one live 7.62X39 ammunition, seven 9MM rounds, a firearm cleaning kit and an army badge of Major rank.
These explosives were discovered in the Lama Canal on Mandela Avenue. They were found in a green grenade box and appeared to be almost brand new.
Kaieteur News understands that just after 15:00 hrs yesterday a city constable noticed a box in some bushes almost in the Lama Canal on Mandela Avenue.
According to reports, he was about to pull up the box when its content fell into the water. When he realized what it was, the police was immediately informed.
When this newspaper arrived at the scene yesterday, the area was cordoned off and a rank could have been seen diving into the water to retrieve the explosives.
It is believed that the items discovered came from the army since a Guyana Defence Force (GDF)’s badge of major rank was among the items.
Investigations are ongoing.
