Kaieteur News – An 18-year-old labourer of Onderneeming Sand Pit, Essequibo Coast who was nabbed by police with a 12-gauge shotgun and two phones, told the lawmen that a ‘friend’ gave him the said items.
According to the police, on Sunday, acting on information, ranks ventured to the 18-year-old man’s residence, where the young man was confronted with arms and ammunition allegations. Police said an iPhone and a Samsung phone, which do not belong to the man, were found at the residence.
