The TTPS says as part of Op­er­a­tion Blue Line ex­er­cis­es, of­fi­cers con­duct­ed a war­rant in the San­ta Cruz Dis­trict, noth­ing men­tioned in the war­rant was found, how­ev­er the of­fi­cers searched a bushy area lo­cat­ed at Per­ouse Av­enue, Mc Carthy Street, Can­taro Vil­lage, Up­per San­ta Cruz and found and seized a bag con­tain­ing three 9mm rounds of am­mu­ni­tion and thir­ty-three 5.56mm rounds of am­mu­ni­tion.

The TTPS says based on in­tel­li­gence in­for­ma­tion, of­fi­cers then pro­ceed­ed to Holo­lo Road, San­ta Cruz, where they found a ve­hi­cle that was ear­li­er re­port­ed to be in­volved in a rob­bery with ag­gra­va­tion in­ci­dent, in the dis­trict.

Fur­ther checks re­vealed that the ve­hi­cle which was re­port­ed stolen in No­vem­ber, in the Mor­vant Dis­trict, had a tam­pered ig­ni­tion.

The ve­hi­cle was wrecked and con­veyed to the San­ta Cruz Po­lice Sta­tion.
