Two teenaged boys, 17 and 18, have been arrested for possession of a firearm and a quantity of ammunition during a police exercise in the Diego Martin district on Saturday.
Western Division Task Force (WDTF) officers were on patrol from 12 noon and 4:00 pm where they observed the duo parading with a firearm.
The suspects, a 17-year-old male from Oasis Garden, Blue Basin and an 18-year-old male from Cizan Trace, Blue Basin were subsequently intercepted by WDTF officers.
Upon doing so, the officers seized a Taurus pistol loaded with 12 rounds of 9mm ammunition.
The suspects were immediately arrested, pending further investigations by PC Hollingsworth.
