Yesterday at approximately 17:00hrs, Chief Inspector Lyte led an Anti-Crime Patrol on Grove Public Road, East Bank Demerara, where they spotted a Toyota Tacoma with registration number PYY 9229 driving recklessly near Jimbo Bridge, Grove.

The patrol promptly stopped the vehicle, directing the driver to proceed to Grove Police Station under escort. Upon arrival, the driver identified himself as Dylan Walker, a 30-year-old businessman from New Road, Vreed-en-Hoop, West Coast Demerara. Also present were three other occupants, including Subrina Rhema, a 26-year-old from Plaisance, East Coast of Demerara.

A search of the vehicle yielded no illegal items. However, further inspection revealed a black handbag belonging to Subrina Rhema containing a black .32 Taurus Pistol and a magazine loaded with 11 rounds of .32 ammunition. Rhema admitted to not having a firearm license and claimed innocence, stating, “Dylan put it in my bag. ”

Subsequent video and audio interviews conducted separately with Rhema and Walker at the Grove Police Station corroborated Walker’s confession.

He admitted to possessing the firearm and ammunition, confessing to placing it in Rhema’s bag during their encounter with the police. Both individuals have been apprehended and face charges related to illegal firearm possession.
