Police in Lentegeur have arrested two suspects during separate operations aimed at curbing gang violence and crime in the area. Officers were deployed in the area last night following ongoing gang-related incidents.
While conducting patrols, members received information about a firearm and ammunition allegedly being kept at a house in Tessa Crescent, Montrose Park.
Police searched the premises and found a Norinco 9mm firearm and 10 rounds of ammunition. They arrested a 20-year-old suspect on related charges.
In a separate search-and-seizure operation, officers targeted illegal firearms, ammunition and drugs in Lentegeur.
A search at a property in Clare Crescent led to the arrest of a 25-year-old man found in possession of tik.
Both suspects are expected to appear in the Mitchells Plain Magistrate’s Court on their respective charges.
