Another firearm removed from streets; juvenile included in pair held for questioning
The Police have confiscated another illegal firearm, based on communication from persons with intimate knowledge of the situation.
According to reliable sources security forces were conducting a “stop and search” operation in the La Vallee area, just outside of Sandy Point, at approximately 9:45 a.m., earlier today, February 1, when the discovery was made.
An adult and a juvenile were held in connection to the find, reports indicate.
However, there is no confirmation as to whether any charges were laid.
We are still awaiting confirmation from the Police press unit.
One illegal firearm and ammunition were confiscated just about two weeks ago, and four persons were charged in connection to that find.
This latest discovery makes the second illegal firearm to be removed from the streets for 2019.
