They allegedly discovered 3,207 grammes of marijuana in six plastic-wrapped packages, along with four rounds of .40 calibre ammunition in a brown handle bag in a bedroom ceiling.
Then, around 9:30pm, officers of the North Central Division Task Force – Area East, while heading north along Lopinot Road, saw a man with a black bag in his hand walking along the roadway.
Firearm seized along Lopinot Road.
The man spotted the officers and allegedly dropped the bag and ran into a bushy area nearby and escaped.
