Two men were taken into Police custody on Friday night after they were allegedly nabbed with an illegal round of ammunition, a knife and other items.
In custody are Sean Millington, a 48-year-old watchman, who has no fixed place of abode and Andel Bovell, a 22-year-old resident of ‘B’ Field Sophia, Georgetown.
Police Headquarters said the men were arrested by ranks on mobile patrol, who noticed them acting suspiciously while they were walking on Dennis Street, Sophia.
As a result, Police said the ranks approached the men and carried out a search on them during which a .40 round of ammunition was found in pants pocket of Millington.
Millington was asked if he is the holder of a firearm license and he said ‘no’. So, he was then told of the offence committed, cautioned and arrested.
Afterwards, a search was also carried out on Sears and one blue A25 cellular phone and a black-handle knife was found in a haversack that he was carrying.
Sears also questioned about the cellphone but did not state where he got the phone from. He was then arrested.
Both suspects were escorted to the Ruimveldt Police Station, where the items were were marked and lodged in the presence of the two suspects.
The suspects were then placed into custody as investigations continue.
