2 arrested for illegal gun possession

Police on mobile patrol duty in Linden in the early hours of Tuesday morning intercepted a white Premio motorcar, PNN 5981, near the Mackenzie/Wismar Bridge and found an unlicensed 9mm firearm.

Reports are that the car was stopped at about 03:30h and had two occupants – a 19-year-old laborer from West Watooka, Wismar, and a 21-year-old laborer from Andyville, Wismar.

During the search, the teen, who was seated in the front passenger seat, began to act disorderly and according to Police, despite being warned by officers, he continued his erratic behavior. This led police to search his person and they discovered a 9mm pistol, without ammunition, concealed in his pants crutch. Meanwhile, a search of the 21-year-old and his belongings, as well as the vehicle, yielded no additional illegal items.
Both men were arrested and transported to the Wismar Police Station along with the firearm.
