‘Spoil Child’ nabbed with illegal gun, ammo outside Leonora Stadium

A man was arrested Saturday night after he was caught with an unlicensed firearm and ammunition outside the National Track and Field Facility at Leonora, West Coast Demerara.

A statement from the Guyana Police Force said woman Superintendent, a Corporal and other Ranks from Regional Police Division #3 arrested Teon Allen called ‘Spoil Child’, from Georgetown, who allegedly had an unlicensed 9mm pistol and 18 live matching rounds of ammunition in his possession as he was walking into the stadium.

The ranks, who were performing security duty at the Leonora Stadium at around 23:00 hrs on Saturday night, observed Allen acting suspiciously. So they stopped him.

Despite some resistance, Police managed to search him and the bag he was carrying when they found the illegal items.

He was asked if he had a license to carry the gun but he reportedly refused to cooperate with the Police and began to behave in a disorderly manner.

He was subsequently arrested and escorted to the Leonora Police Station, along with the firearm and ammunition. On arrival, he was again asked if he was a licensed firearm holder and he said “no”.
