According to Police, at about 05:50h, anti-crime patrol ranks received information that the driver of motor car PAC 6822, a 29-year-old man, was carrying a firearm and large quantity of narcotics.
As such, all patrols were alerted, and they intercepted the car at the four corners of One Mile, Wismar. However, upon seeing the Police ranks, the Block 22, Wismar, Linden man drove off at a fast rate along the One Mile public road in a western direction. The ranks gave chase behind him and managed to intercept him along the route to Bucktown, Wismar.
Police said ranks then escorted the driver to the Mackenzie Police Station where the motor car was searched in his presence.
Two live 9mm ammunition was found under the driver’s seat along with a bulky haversack near the front passenger seat. The bag contained one black plastic parcel with several transparent zip-lock bags, all containing a number of leaves, seeds and stems suspected to be cannabis.
