Two Morvant men were arrested on Sunday during an anti-crime exercise in the area, after they were found with a firearm and ammunition and a quantity of marijuana trees exceeding the legal limit.
During the operation between 5 and 8 am, officials of the North Eastern Division (NED) Task Force, the NED Gang and Intelligence Unit, the San Juan CID, and the Canine Unit, executed search warrants at the home of a 44-year-old man at Upper St Francois Valley Road, Morvant.
During the search, officers found a Glock pistol fitted with a magazine containing ten rounds of 9 mm ammunition, together with an extra magazine containing ten rounds of 9 mm ammunition.
The suspect was arrested immediately and taken into custody, where he remained up to yesterday.
Acting on information received during the first search, officers later went to another location at St Francois Valley Road, Morvant, where they found and seized 42 fully grown marijuana trees in plant pots, along with 20 plastic cups each containing marijuana seedlings.
A 26-year-old man was arrested in connection with the find.
