Local authorities contact US peers over arms, ammo shipment from Miami

Local authorities have contacted their counterparts in the United States for assistance in locating the player/s in the shipment of a cache of guns and ammunition from Miami, which was intercepted here on Friday and has so far led to the arrest of one person.

The young man who is currently assisting police with their investigations was reportedly listed as the consignee but it would appear that he was simply doing someone “a favour” by agreeing to collect the box. Based on the information this newspaper has received, the man who hails from the upper East Coast Demerara area has revealed to the police the identity of the person he was collecting the box for.

Contacted yesterday Crime Chief Leslie James confirmed that no additional arrests have been made and
