The Police rank identified himself and requested to conduct a search on the person of the male, and the male agreed.
During the search, one 9mm Glock-19 pistol, serial number # FLD 741, and one marching round of ammunition were found in the male’s pants crotch.
The male was informed of the offence he had committed, and was arrested and escorted to the Brickdam Police Station, where the firearm and ammunition were marked, sealed and lodged.

A search was carried out on the men’s persons but nothing illegal was found. A search was then carried out on the vehicle, and one Taurus.32 pistol with two matching rounds of ammunition were found under the driver’s seat.
The suspects were arrested and escorted to the Brickdam Police Station as Police continue their investigations.
