4 firearms seized

A short time later, the same officers acting on a tip-off, went to Penal where they recovered three more firearms and a quantity of assorted ammunition.

According to a police report, at 8 pm, police intercepted a Nissan Wingroad in Duncan Village, La Romaine driven by the woman who said she is an interior decorator. A search of the vehicle was conducted and the illegal weapon found lying on the front passenger seat.

The officers led by Sgt Victor then proceeded into some bushes near Puzzle Island in Suchit Trace, Penal where they discovered a knapsack containing two 9 mm pistols, a revolver, 180 rounds of 7.62 ammunition and four rounds of 9 mm ammunition. No one was arrested during the second operation and investigations are continuing.

The woman has since been charged and has appeared in court.
