Police have arrested an 84-year-old pensioner, Hubert Campbell, during an operation at Yarrowkabra, Soesdyke/Linden Highway. He was found in possession of an unlicensed 9mm firearm and 30 grams of marijuana.
At approximately 3:30 PM yesterday, acting on received information, officers from the Highway Patrol Base visited Lot 124 Yarrowkabra. Upon arrival, they identified themselves to Campbell, who began to act suspiciously and sat on a bench under a shed in his shop.
When the officers requested to search him, he initially refused and exhibited disorderly behavior. After being warned about his conduct, Campbell allowed the search. He was found with a Taurus 9mm pistol containing five live rounds of ammunition. When asked if he had a license for the firearm, he admitted he did not.
Further searching of the shop, conducted in Campbell’s presence, revealed a quantity of leaves, seeds, and stems suspected to be cannabis.
Campbell was informed of the offenses, cautioned, and subsequently arrested. He was taken to the Timehri Police Station, where the cannabis was weighed, totaling 30 grams. The suspect is currently in custody and assisting with the investigation.
