The ex­e­cu­tion of a search war­rant at a home of a 22-year-old man in Pin­to, Ari­ma yes­ter­day led to the al­leged seizure of one Tau­rus nine-mil­lime­tre pis­tol with 14 rounds of nine-mil­lime­tre am­mu­ni­tion.  

The man was ar­rest­ed and tak­en to the Pin­to Po­lice Post.

An ex­er­cise con­duct­ed in Freeport yes­ter­day be­tween the hours of3 pm and 11 pm, based on in­for­ma­tion re­ceived, led of­fi­cers to Tewarie Cir­cu­lar South, Freeport. There, about 150 feet off the road­way, in a bushy area, they al­leged­ly found an as­sault ri­fle fit­ted with a mag­a­zine, wrapped in a grey vest.
