Three men in custody after firearm seizure in Manchester

MANDEVILLE, Manchester — Three men were arrested in relation to the seizure of a firearm and several rounds of ammunition on Somerset main road in Manchester on Wednesday, October 5.

Reports are that about 10:30 pm, members of the Area Three Specialized Operations Unit were conducting vehicular checkpoint operations along the main road when they signalled the driver of a Toyota Probox motorcar to stop.

He complied. The vehicle and its occupants were then searched and one Smith and Wesson revolver loaded with six 9mm rounds of ammunition was seized.

The identities of those taken into custody are currently being withheld pending further investigations.
