Three females and six males were on Friday morning arrested after Police swooped down on an illegal operation at Rasville, Georgetown, where several live rounds of ammunition for two different calibres of weapons and a large quantity of ecstasy pills were unearthed.
Reports are Police acting on information conducted a search in several apartments, during which they found 16 live rounds of different calibres of ammunition and 180 ecstasy pills.
The Police are working on the theory that the early morning arrest is a direct spin-off with the recent arrest of a Tucville mechanic, who was arrested on Thursday evening with a .45 rifle and one live round of 9mm ammunition.
The suspect, Caesar Gonsalves, of Lot 119 Turn Drive, East La Penitence, Georgetown, was arrested and placed before the courts. He was remanded to prison and will make his next court appearance on January 24.
However, the nine persons in custody following the raid on Friday morning are being questioned and charges are expected to be laid in the new week.
