The crackdown on illegal guns and ammunition continued yesterday as police raided crime hot spots, seizing another cache of ammunition and a shotgun.
Around 11.10 am, Sgt Joseph and PCs Kali and Ramdhanie from the Southern Division Task Force went to Nice Street, La Romaine, where they found a yellow crocus bag hidden in the bushes.
The bag contained a 16-gauge shotgun and one 16-gauge cartridge, as well as seven rounds of 5.62 ammunition.
No one was arrested.
The Southern Division Operations Unit also conducted an exercise between 1 am and 9 am and arrested four men for shooting and robbery-related offences.
The exercise was headed by ASP Ramdeen, Insp Don Gajadhar, Sgt Teeluck and Ramroop, and PCs Williams, Noel and Ragoonath from the San Fernando CID and the Canine Unit.
Several abandoned homes and overgrown lots were searched at Lawrence Street, San Fernando, close to the Housing Development Corporation’s development site.
