Police yesterday said that charges are likely to be laid today against the two men nabbed on Sunday at a roadblock with a cache of weapons and ammunition.
Stabroek News was told yesterday that one of the men held on Sunday near the Providence police station was among four charged in February after they were found with an unlicensed weapon. Sources also reported yesterday that the vehicle belongs to a well-known city businessman.
However, police did not confirm this yesterday stating that they are still trying to trace the owner.
The men were arrested in a black Tacoma pick-up, PHH 7515 after the police at the roadblock became suspicious that the vehicle bore no front number plate.
The items sized by the police are: one .45 Glock pistol with magazine and ten matching rounds; one .32 Taurus Pistol with magazine and 14 rounds matching ammunition; one AK-47 assault rifle with magazine and 29 7.62 rounds; one magazine containing 25 7.62 rounds; four cellular phones and two satellite phones.
