A NINE MM PISTOL with seven rounds of ammunition, seven cell phones and ten home-made weapons were seized during a joint inter-agency operation at the Maximum-Security Prison on Golden Grove Road, Arouca on April 2.

Following the discovery, acting Commissioner of Prisons Carlos Corraspe said the raid was “normative” when asked what prompted it.

“We conduct these operations to ensure the prison is sanitised of unauthorised items.”
