During their patrol on Monday December 5th at approximately 12.40 p.m. a Philipsburg police patrol noticed a white car with license plate 4612-AAA driving on the Onasha Jones street.
When the two occupants saw the police approaching they became quite nervous and started acting very suspicious by lowering the sun-visor in the car, to avoid being recognized. The patrol decided to control the occupants and stopped the vehicle on Long wall road in the vicinity of F.W. Vlaun and Sons. When the driver turned down the window a very strong scent of marihuana came out of the car. The officers immediately ordered both occupants to exit the vehicle and they were arrested on the spot. The initials of the suspects are C.E. and V.J. both from Sint Maarten. During a search of the vehicle the patrol found a revolver of the caliber .38 with six live rounds in the barrel under the driver seat. The gun was confiscated immediately for further investigation. Both suspects were also taken to the police station and turned over to the Narcotic and Fire arm Department.
