Ac­cord­ing to po­lice re­ports on Ju­ly 26th, po­lice were on mo­bile pa­trol when they stopped a white Toy­ota Aqua ve­hi­cle with four oc­cu­pants. Dur­ing the stop, po­lice searched the ve­hi­cle and al­leged­ly dis­cov­ered one chrome with black han­dle Tau­rus re­volver con­tain­ing four rounds of am­mu­ni­tion in the ve­hi­cle. The men were ar­rest­ed and tak­en to the Gas­par­il­lo Po­lice Sta­tion where they were iden­ti­fied as sus­pects in on­go­ing in­ves­ti­ga­tions.

Fol­low­ing the probe, PC Balka­ran charged the four men with pos­ses­sion of a firearm and pos­ses­sion of am­mu­ni­tion on Au­gust 2nd, 2022. 

The mat­ter was heard at the San Fer­nan­do Mag­is­trate Court and post­poned to Au­gust 8th.
