A 52-year-old market vendor and his cousin are now in Police custody following the discovery of a semi-automatic pistol at their East La Penitence, Georgetown home on Friday.
According to information, Police ranks acting on a tip-off went to the home of the 52-year-old man at East La Penitence Squatting Area and requested to conduct a search on his premises.
It was during the search that Police unearthed the semi-automatic weapon. The vendor was questioned and allegedly told the ranks that the weapon was given to him by his cousin to keep until a later date. When contacted, the cousin admitted to giving the gun to the man, while urging the Police to release his cousin and take him into custody instead.
Both men were arrested and are assisting Police in their investigations. A ballistics test is expected to be conducted on the weapon to determine if it was used in the commission of a crime.
