In a significant law enforcement operation in the mining town of Linden, Guyana, authorities have uncovered an illegal arsenal and substantial cash reserves hidden within a local businessman’s residence. The Wednesday evening raid resulted in the seizure of two sophisticated firearms and a considerable ammunition stockpile.
Acting on intelligence, officers from the Guyana Police Force (GPF) discovered a Glock 19 9mm pistol alongside a customized Polymer 80 handgun, concealed beneath the flooring of a bedroom in the upper flat of the property. The search, conducted with the 30-year-old businessman present, yielded fifty-six rounds of 9mm ammunition alongside the weapons.
The operation escalated when additional搜查 uncovered significant financial assets hidden within a bedroom wardrobe. Police confiscated a combined total of GY$8.5 million in local and foreign currency, including GY$6,915,000 and US$7,445 in cash.
The suspect remains in police custody while forensic examinations and investigations continue. All seized items – including the firearms, ammunition, and currency – have been officially logged as evidence. This operation marks one of the most significant arms and cash interceptions in the region this year, highlighting ongoing efforts to combat illicit activities in the area.
