An an­ti-crime op­er­a­tion con­duct­ed in the Cou­va and Freeport Po­lice dis­tricts on Sun­day led to the seizure of a home­made shot­gun, am­mu­ni­tion, cannabis, and an ar­ti­cle of cam­ou­flage cloth­ing.

Be­tween 11:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m., of­fi­cers ex­e­cut­ed an in­tel­li­gence-dri­ven op­er­a­tion tar­get­ing high-risk ar­eas such as Abra­ham Street, Pranz Gar­dens, Clax­ton Bay.

Of­fi­cers searched a wood­ed area where they dis­cov­ered 753 grams of cannabis, with an es­ti­mat­ed street val­ue of $15,000.

Of­fi­cers then searched an un­se­cured gal­va­nize struc­ture in Princess Av­enue, Mc Bean, Cou­va and found one (1) home­made shot­gun (con­cealed un­der the struc­ture), two (2) 12-gauge car­tridges and eight (8) rounds of 7.62 am­mu­ni­tion.

This ex­er­cise was ex­e­cut­ed by of­fi­cers from the Cen­tral Di­vi­sion Task Force (CDTF) South and the Cou­va Po­lice Sta­tion, with sup­port from the Ca­nine Unit.
