A 33-year-old man from Nut Grove has been arrested and officially charged in connection with the seizure of a firearm magazine during a collaborative police operation.
Alex Joseph faces charges for the Possession of a Firearm, specifically one Pro Mag thirty (30) round 9mm magazine. The incident took place around 4:50 p.m. on Friday, February 27, 2026, along Simon Boulevard in the St. Johnston’s Village area.
A coordinated stop-and-search operation was executed by officers from various specialized units, including the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) Task Force, Special Services Unit (SSU), Firearms and Evidence Recovery Unit (FERU), Serious Crime Unit, K-9 Unit, and the Police Armory, which led to the confiscation of the illegal item.
Joseph is scheduled to appear in court on Tuesday to respond to the charges.
these young men and guns.
can we het an idea of how many of these we have gotten off ghe streets so far? government seem to be doing a great job
A 30-round 9mm magazine is not something you casually carry. The potential for violence is real, and this arrest likely prevented possible harm.
I commend the CID, K-9, and Special Services Unit. Their teamwork in this operation is exactly what’s needed to keep communities like St. Johnston’s Village safe.
