Police spokesperson Col Priscilla Naidu said police received information on four suspicious men walking in Stanford Road with firearms on Saturday at about 12.30am.
“The four males fitting the description were spotted near a garage in Stanford Road.
“On searching them, one male was found in possession of a 9mm pistol, magazine and nine rounds of ammunition,” Naidu said.
