A Clarendon man has been taken into custody after the police intercepted a vehicle bearing different plates on the front and rear.
It is reported that about 2 a.m. on Saturday police personnel stopped the driver of a Toyota Wish motor car along the Four Paths main road in Clarendon.
The driver complied and checks revealed that the registration plates did not match.
Further checks resulted in the seizure of a magazine loaded with 25 nine millimetre rounds, two 7.62 rounds used in AK 47 rifles and one spent 5.56 casing used in M16 rifles.
The car as well as an undisclosed amount of cash was also seized.
The man, who has reportedly been on the police's radar, was arrested on suspicion of unauthorised possession of ammunition.
It's reported that the vehicle is owned by a man from Portmore, St Catherine, and was rented in Kingston.
