A semi-automatic pistol and some
ganja were recovered following a police raid in West Bay early Tuesday in West
Bay.
Two men were also arrested in the
operation.
Just before 2am Tuesday police
officers, detectives, and armed units launched the raid in the West Bay area. A
car and premises were searched resulting in the seizure of a quantity of ganja
and a semi-automatic pistol, police said.
Two men, aged 23 and 31, were
arrested on suspicion of possession of an unlicensed firearm and possession and
consumption of ganja.
“Following the gun amnesty the
Commissioner warned that we would be going all out to gather intelligence and
mount targeted raids to take illegal guns off the streets,” Police
Superintendent Marlon Bodden said. “This latest operation, and the successful
recovery of this dangerous weapon, underlines our commitment to do exactly
that.”
