Three men, including Opposition Leader Azruddin Mohamed, were arrested late Monday over an alleged firearm discharge near the home of Special Branch Head Senior Superintendent Prem Narine, Police said.

The incident occurred about 11:45pm on Monday, at Barr Street, Kitty. Police are investigating alleged discharge of a loaded firearm with intent and possession of a firearm and ammunition without a licence.

Preliminary investigations revealed that Senior Superintendent Narine was at home when a black Toyota Allion, registration number PXX 5300, passed slowly along the street. It returned a short while later.

As the car approached a second time, he heard what appeared to be a gunshot. He took cover and fired several rounds from his service firearm towards the vehicle, which drove off.
The car was intercepted at the junction of Vlissengen Road and Sandy Babb Street, Kitty. Its occupants were identified as Azruddin Mohamed, 39, of Houston, East Bank Demerara; Mario Mohamed, 25, and driver Eugene Thorne, 35, both of Timehri, East Bank Demerara.

A search of the car, conducted in their presence at the Kitty Police Station, led to the discovery of a .32 Taurus pistol without a serial number and three live rounds of .32 ammunition.
Police recovered one .32 spent shell on the southern side of Barr Street, obliquely opposite the residence, along with four 9mm spent shells.

The firearm, ammunition and shells were lodged pending ballistic examination. CCTV footage from the area will be reviewed.
The men remain in custody as investigations continue.
