16-y-o boy, two others arrested following gun seizure

The Spanish Town police have arrested three people, including a 16-year-old boy, in connection with the seizure of an illegal gun along the Spanish Town Bypass on Sunday.

The three suspects are from Corporate Area addresses.

The police say about 1:00 a.m., a team carried out an intelligence-driven operation in the vicinity of Food for the Poor when a Nissan Teana with three men aboard was signalled to stop and the driver complied.

The vehicle was taken to the Spanish Town Police Station where a search was conducted during which a nine millimetre pistol affixed with a magazine containing 17 rounds of ammunition was allegedly discovered.

The three men were arrested on suspicion of possession of a prohibited weapon and unauthorised possession of ammunition.
