A 26-year-old man who brandished a number of firearms in a video that went viral on social media has been arrested and remains in Police custody tonight.

In a statement this evening, the Guyana Police Force said the weapons belong to a private security firm and have all been seized.

In the video, the man could be heard singing a popular local song that was part of the elections campaign for the coalition and threatening to use violence “if they don’t want to come out”.

The Guyana Police Force said it launched an immediate investigation once the video came to its attention and that led to the arrest and the seizure of the firearms.
