The behaviour of the two occupants aroused the suspicion of the Police Officers, which prompted a search of the motor vehicle.

During the conduct of the search, the Officers discovered and confiscated one 9mm Taurus pistol with a magazine containing eleven rounds of Ammunition.

Neither of the occupants produced a valid firearm user licence, which would have given either of them the legal authority to carry a Pistol and Ammunition.

In addition to the discovery of the Firearm and Ammunition, the Officers also confiscated a quantity of green plant-like material, which is suspected to be Cannabis. The occupants of the vehicle were arrested for the offences of Possession of Firearm without a Valid Licence, Possession of Ammunition and Possession of Controlled Drugs.

The occupants have been identified as twenty-three-year-old Terrance Chandler and eighteen year old Terry Valcin, both residents of Ti-Rocher, Castries.  The pair have been charged for offences of Possession of Firearm without a Valid Licence, Possession of Ammunition and Possession of Controlled Drugs.

They are scheduled to be taken before a Magistrate’s Court for the purpose of bail.
