Police arrest a 63-year-old man on the Essequibo Coast after officers reportedly find an unlicensed firearm and matching ammunition at his home. Multiple outlets report that ranks from Regional Police Division #2 (Pomeroon-Supenaam) go to the man’s residence in Perseverance, following information. The discovery occurs around 10:30 hours on Saturday, 20 June 2026, during an operation in the area.
The man is described as a businessman or self-employed individual living at Lot 12 Perseverance Public Road. Police say the firearm and ammunition are allegedly concealed in a bedroom. After the items are found, the man is taken into custody and remains in police custody as investigations continue.
Both reports characterize the arrest as being linked to illegal possession of a gun and ammunition, and both cite the same time frame and police division involved in the operation. Details beyond the alleged discovery and the suspect’s age and location are not provided in the excerpts.
