Four fake guns seized in primary school, police concerned

Following the confiscation of four fake firearms at a Corporate Area primary school yesterday, Head of the St Andrew South Police Division, Superintendent Damian Manderson says he is concerned about these types of firearms in schools.

Speaking with The STAR, Manderson noted that the police have seen toy guns turning up in schools across the Corporate Area, describing it as a problem.

He said plans are afoot to address the issue.

Regarding today's incident, The STAR understands that the police were called to the primary school over the toy guns and that some students found in possession of them were spoken to.

The students were also counselled about bullying.

The toy guns were seized.

Manderson told The STAR that a senior policeman probed the matter and he expects to get a report on Thursday.

The STAR gathered that sex toys were also seized, however, Manderson said he could not speak to it.
