Police in Guyana are investigating an alleged firearm-related incident at Policeman Corner, Westminster, West Bank Demerara, after a police constable is arrested. The incident reportedly occurs on Monday, August 10, 2026, at about 20:30h, according to both reports.
One outlet says the officer is placed under “close arrest,” while another describes police as investigating the matter following the alleged conduct. The reports identify a 25-year-old Quality Health Safety and Environment Officer from Phase One, Westminster, WBD, as the other person involved, and a 29-year-old police constable from Parfaite Harmonie, West Bank Demerara. Both accounts frame the allegation as the use of a “toy gun” or a firearm that is treated as such by witnesses or those reporting the incident.
Both outlets refer to police action and an ongoing investigation, but they do not provide further details such as the specific claims made by witnesses, whether any charges have been filed, or the outcome of any initial questioning, as the case remains under review.
