Inside, police found and seized an AR 15 with 36 rounds of ammunition.

Two men were arrested in relation to the gun.

On Sunday, police began an anti-crime exercise between 3.30 pm and 5.30 pm.

During the exercise, police went to an abandoned lot in Clearance Circular, Mon Repos, Morvant, where they found a partially buried garbage bag which contained a 12 gauge shotgun wrapped in camouflage clothing.

No one was arrested in relation to that weapon.

The exercise was led by acting Snr Supt Maharaj and Supt Ramjohn with assistance from Insp Bharath and supervision from acting Sgt Murray and officers of the Morvant CID.
