Based on information received, a party of police, led by a Detective Inspector, at around 12:15 hrs. proceeded to the Kitty location.
According to the police report, a search was carried out on the vehicle.
The ranks unearthed two .32 Taurus pistols, with their serial numbers filed off; 43 live .32 rounds of ammunition and an extra magazine, which were found in the front left-side passenger seat of the vehicle.
