Stolen gun recovered in Mandeville Market

Mandeville police recovered a licensed firearm and 11 rounds of ammunition over the weekend after the weapon was stolen from a motor vehicle parked at a business place in the town earlier this week.

The recovery followed an operation after the police received information that a man had been seen with the weapon in the Mandeville Market.

Superintendent Odean Dennis, who is in charge of the Mandeville police, said the man, whose identity is being withheld pending further investigations, was held and questioned before directing investigators to an unfinished building near the market, where the firearm and ammunition were recovered.
