Strand police arrested an 18-year-old suspect on charges of being in possession of an unlicenced firearm in the early hours of Saturday (1 October). According to a police spokesperson, a police officer noticed a man coming out to what is believed to be a place where drugs are usually sold at 02:20. The suspect noticed the officer and apparently started to run. While he was running from the police officers, he allegedly threw away a firearm that he had on him. Police also found six rounds of ammunition with the firearm. The suspect is still detained while Strand police are trying to establish ownership of the firearm. Photo:
