One man was ar­rest­ed and two firearms, along with quan­ti­ties of am­mu­ni­tion and cannabis, were seized dur­ing po­lice ex­er­cis­es con­duct­ed in the South­ern and North East­ern Di­vi­sions be­tween Thurs­day and Fri­day.

In the most re­cent in­ci­dent, of­fi­cers of the South­ern Di­vi­sion Task Force at­tempt­ed to in­ter­cept a ve­hi­cle in the Clax­ton Bay dis­trict around 12:30 a.m. on Fri­day. The dri­ver al­leged­ly failed to com­ply and a po­lice chase fol­lowed, end­ing along the Ca­roni Sa­van­nah Road.

A search of the ve­hi­cle re­vealed 1.2 kilo­grammes of cannabis hid­den in the trunk. A 43-year-old man from Mor­vant was ar­rest­ed in con­nec­tion with the find.
