Suspected robbers held with gun, in car with false licence plates

Two men, believed to have been trailing a citizen after a bank transaction, were held on Friday with a gun in a vehicle bearing false registration number plates.

Police yesterday said they recovered an unlicensed .32 Taurus pistol with 11 matching rounds in the vehicle, which was intercepted at the junction of Camp and New Market streets.

“…The vehicle was observed to be trailing the vehicle of a citizen who had earlier transacted business at a city bank,” police said in a press release.
The release stated that the men are now in police custody assisting with the investigations.
