Police are in possession of a .38 snub-nosed revolver and two spent shells they recovered from one of two men who were involved in a fight at Kanaruk, Mahdia.

The incident reportedly occurred yesterday.

Benn managed to take away the weapon and promptly handed it over to the law enforcers. Boucher is currently in custody.

The man was taken into custody and charges will be instituted shortly.
