A 26-year-old man was taken into police custody and a number of firearms which belong to a private security firm were seized yesterday following the circulation of a video on social media threatening violence.
Police spokesman Jairam Ramlakhan, in a press release last evening confirmed that the Guyana Police Force has since commenced a thorough investigation into the matter.
“So far investigators have arrested a 26-year-old male and seized a number of firearms belonging to a private security firm,” Ramlakhan said.
In the short video which was seen by Stabroek News, a male, appeared to be seated in the front seat of a vehicle and was heard singing as he displayed the firearms and ammunition.
Some of the items were seen on the seat of the vehicle while others were on his legs.
