A Russian-made 9mm Baikal Makarov pistol was one of two hand guns that Customs Anti-Narcotics Unit (CANU) agents seized on Tuesday, that agency said in a statement.

CANU said two men were arrested at Castello Housing Scheme after a search allegedly uncovered the pistol and a Smith and Wesson .38 special revolver with one live matching round.

The anti-drug agency said the two suspects and the guns and ammunition were handed over to the Guyana Police Force.
