Tec 9 & 12-Gauge Off the Streets

Police continue to recover high-powered weapons from the city streets. This times it's the crimes intelligence unit and this morning, officers searched a Victoria Street residence where they found a sawed off 12 gauge shotgun with one live round and 77 grams of marijuana. 19-year-old Richard Jones was found in the house and he was charged for keeping a prohibited firearm and drug trafficking.

The second weapon, a Tec 9, which is a 45 calibre sub machine gun, was found at a vacant lot on Faber's Road. The CIU searched this area based on intelligence received. No one was found in the area, and police have taken this very dangerous weapon off the streets.
