Trinidadian Joseph Aboud, accompanied by a prominent lawyer, yesterday turned himself over to the police for questioning into the recent Regent Street arms bust, but the other two men wanted in connection with the discovery remained at large up to press time.
Stabroek News understands that the 31-year-old contacted the lawyer early yesterday morning saying that he had just returned from the interior and wanted to turn himself in.
Police last Friday issued wanted bulletins for Aboud, businessman Clayton Hutson and 23-year-old Frankie Ross for questioning with regard to the cache of high powered guns, a large quantity of ammunition and other articles found in a barrel under a house at Lot 120 Regent Street, Bourda.
Police, in a release issued last Thursday, said they had searched the Lot 120 Regent Street, Bourda, house around 6.30 pm on Wednesday. There they had discovered an AK-47 rifle with the number filed off, a pistol with a silencer, a Mossberg shotgun, 713 rounds of ammunition of various calibre, 7 magazines for different firearms, a green camouflage water bottle and a green canvas pouch in a barrel.

The bad guys just aren't what they used to be anymore. 713 rounds.... Pffft.
