A 33-year-old woman, who is a national of the Dominican Republic, was arrested for possession of a firearm and ammunition, after police officers found a weapon hidden under the mattress in a baby’s crib.
The Police Service reports that officers of the Gang Unit and Arima Intelligence and Operations Team received information that led them to search a house in Cunupia.
Guardian Media understands that a female suspect who was in the house with a baby at the time of the exercise, displayed suspicious behaviour and allegedly hid an object under the crib’s mattress.
The object turned out to be an AR-15 rifle, loaded with a magazine, containing 100 rounds of 5.56 ammunition.
The woman was arrested in connection with the find.
The operation, which was conducted between 8 pm and 11 pm on Sunday 22 June 2025, was supervised by W/Sgt. Ramai and Sgt. Caesar.
