Basseterre, St.Kitts: Yet another gun, a 9mm Ruger pistol, and fifteen rounds of ammunition, have been confiscated by the Police, as their crack down on illegal firearms and drugs continue.
According to a Police report, while officers of the Drug Squad Unit were making a routine patrol in the Tabernacle area, on Tuesday night, October 16th, they realized a male, wearing a black hooded top, acting suspiciously.
The officers approached him but the unidentified man fled. While the man was making his escape, the officers noticed that he discarded an object in some nearby bushes.
A search of the area where the package was discarded revealed the pistol and the ammunition.
The Police are still trying to determine the identity of the suspicious acting male.
