Police Raid Uncovers Drugs Firearm, and Ammunition in Linden

In a targeted operation early Friday morning, police in Region 10 discovered a cache of illegal items, including marijuana, a firearm, ammunition, and a camouflage shirt, during raid exercises in Half Mile, Wismar, Linden.

According to a statement from Police Headquarters, the operation commenced at approximately 06:00 hrs when a team of police officers conducted a search at the residence of a 39-year-old man in Half Mile. During the search, authorities found a plastic bag containing marijuana on a dining table inside the home. The man was promptly informed of the offence, cautioned, and subsequently arrested.

Shortly thereafter, around 06:30 hrs, the police team proceeded to another residence in the area, where they encountered two 28-year-old men. Upon entering the premises, officers observed one of the men attempting to discard an object through a window. The object was swiftly recovered and identified as a loaded 9MM firearm.

Further search of the residence led to the discovery of a camouflage (GDF) shirt in a bedroom occupied by the second suspect. Consequently, both men were placed under arrest.
