Porus police seize illegal firearm, ammunition during spot check

A Clarendon man was arrested following the seizure of a firearm and several rounds of ammunition on the Porus main road, Manchester on Wednesday.

The Porus police reported that about 10:00 a.m., a team of officers was conducting a vehicle check point in the area when they signalled the driver of a Toyota mini-bus to stop.

He complied and a male passenger was seen acting in a manner that aroused their suspicion.

The suspect was accosted, searched and one Browning nine milli-metre pistol containing six rounds of ammunition was found in his possession.

He was arrested; however, his identity is being withheld pending further investigations.
