Man and Teen Detained in All Saints After Drugs and Ammunition Seizures
Police say they detained an All-Saints man and a 16-year-old boy in two separate incidents after cocaine and ammunition were found in their possession in two separate incidents.
In a press statement released moments ago, police say that at approximately 8:30 p.m. on Thursday, 21 August, officers attached to the Criminal Investigations Task Force executed a warrant at a property in All Saints.
A quantity of a white substance resembling the controlled drug cocaine was detained in their search. The substance was seized, and the occupant of the premises was arrested and taken into custody for questioning.
Meanwhile, in a separate incident on the same evening, police officers apprehended a 16-year-old male in All Saints after he was found with two (2) rounds of ammunition in his possession. He was also taken into custody for further questioning.
Both matters remain under investigation.
