A house search car­ried out by San­gre Grande po­lice in North Oropouche, San­gre Grand, led of­fi­cers to the dis­cov­ery of an il­le­gal firearm, 189 rounds of am­mu­ni­tion and a large quan­ti­ty of mar­i­jua­na and co­caine.

The ex­er­cise was con­duct­ed be­tween the hours of 3 pm and 7 pm Tues­day.

Po­lice dis­cov­ered an au­to­mat­ic ri­fle fit­ted with a mag­a­zine, 127 rounds of 5.56 am­mu­ni­tion, 62 rounds of 9mm am­mu­ni­tion, three 12-gauge car­tridges, 134 kilo­grammes of mar­i­jua­na, 10 kilo­grammes of co­caine.

Po­lice say the street val­ue of the il­le­gal drugs run in­to mil­lions of dol­lars.

The ex­er­cise was co­or­di­nat­ed by Supt Khan, In­sp Cal­len­der, Sgt Harp­er and in­clud­ed of­fi­cers from East­ern Di­vi­sion­al Task Force, CID and Spe­cial Op­er­a­tions Unit.

Po­lice are look­ing for per­sons of in­ter­est in­volved in their find.
