Two men were ar­rest­ed dur­ing a road­block ex­er­cise af­ter po­lice of­fi­cers found a firearm and am­mu­ni­tion in the ve­hi­cle they oc­cu­pied.

Ac­cord­ing to a po­lice re­port, at about 10 am on Wednes­day PC An­drews and PC Wil­son were at the in­ter­sec­tion of the Pri­or­i­ty Bus Route and Pash­ley Street con­duct­ing a road check ex­er­cise when they had cause to stop a white Mit­subishi L 300 dri­ven by a man from John­ny King Road in Aranguez.

A search of the ve­hi­cle was con­duct­ed and the of­fi­cers found one Berret­ta 9 mm pis­tol with 13 rounds of 9 mm am­mu­ni­tion, six of which had the mark­ings TTR.

The gun and am­mu­ni­tion were found hid­den un­der a blue knap­sack on the cen­tre seat of the ve­hi­cle. The dri­ver and the lone pas­sen­ger who is from #51 Chootoo Street in El So­cor­ro were sub­se­quent­ly ar­rest­ed and tak­en to the Besson Street Po­lice Sta­tion for fur­ther ques­tion­ing.

They are ex­pect­ed to be charged with pos­ses­sion of arms and am­mu­ni­tion.
