Cops search ex-PPP/C MP’s house for drugs, guns

Shirley Edwards

Heavily armed police officers on Friday afternoon conducted a search for drugs and guns at the Princes Street, Lodge house of former PPP/C Member of Parliament Shirley Edwards.

Executive Committee member of the People Progressive Party (PPP) Gail Teixeira yesterday confirmed the incident, which she described as another act of harassment carried out by the government against the party’s members.

Teixeira told reporters during a press conference that the search was carried out by the police, who said they were acting on information received about illegal drug activities taking place on the premises. Nothing was found during the search, she said.
