A loaded home­made gun was found be­hind the prison wall.

The weapon, with six rounds of .38 am­mu­ni­tion, was found hid­den in the wall of cell ten at the Re­mand Sec­tion of the Gold­en Grove Prison, Arou­ca, last Wednes­day.

Prison of­fi­cials al­so found two foot­balls filled with mar­i­jua­na, cell­phones, charg­ers, cig­a­rettes and knives yes­ter­day at an­oth­er prison fa­cil­i­ty.

The foot­balls, ac­cord­ing to prison sources, were thrown over the wall of the East­ern Cor­rec­tion­al and Re­ha­bil­i­ta­tion Cen­tre, San­ta Rosa.

The T&T Guardian has been in­formed that prison au­thor­i­ties are re­view­ing CCTV footage which cap­tured peo­ple in­volved in throw­ing the con­tra­band items over the prison walls.
