Georgetown : Ranks of a Police mobile patrol commanded by a Corporal, in the Charlestown Community about 11:30h today observed the suspicious movement of Motor car PWW149, driven by a “known character”, with a male seated in the back.
As the patrol approached the vehicle in the vicinity of Russel and Howes streets, the ranks signaled the driver to stop but instead he accelerated and crashed into a post, on Link Street, Charlestown.
The occupants were ordered to exit the vehicle and during that process, the driver dropped a firearm which was immediately retrieved and found to be a .38 Smith and Wesson Revolver with a live round in its chambers.
The driver, 38 of West Ruimveldt and the other, a 20 year-old unemployed resident of Campbelleville Housing Scheme are in custody and the vehicle lodged.
