“The police quickly went to the street mentioned by the complainant, where they arrested the suspect whom the police found relaxed in a car with friends. The police went further to search the other suspect and found one of them with a firearm.
“Upon failing to show the police a licence to possess the firearm, he was immediately arrested for being in possession of an unlicensed firearm and ammunition,” said Tema”, said Tema.
The firearm will be subjected to forensic examination to determine whether or not it was used in the commission of any crime.
The arrested suspects are expected to appear in the Palmridge Magistrate’s Court soon.
