Man threatens family – arrested with unlicensed firearm

Georgetown : Police yesterday arrested a 22 year old self-employed male at his Vigilance East Coast Demerara home, for unlawful possession of a .32 pistol and threatening behaviour.

About 12:20 pm ranks responded to a report of threats made by the suspect’s mother who alleged that he threatened to kill her with a gun. The suspect who was at home, was told of the allegation and arrested. A search of the house revealed the unlicensed weapon concealed in a Video Cassette Recorder (VCR) casing. He has since admitted ownership of the firearm and will be brought before the courts shortly.
