The Manchioneal police have arrested four men, including a foreign national in relation to the seizure of a firearm and ammunition in Peng Beach, Manchioneal in Portland on Sunday.
The police say about 3:40 p.m., they were patrolling the area, when a white Suzuki Swift motor car with four men aboard was seen.
Upon seeing the police, the driver of the motor vehicle started acting in a manner that aroused the suspicion of the team, and the driver was signalled to stop.
The occupants and the vehicle were searched and a nine millimetre Ruger pistol with a magazine containing nine rounds was reportedly found in a brown bag beneath the driver's seat.
All four men were taken into custody pending further investigations.
The vehicle was also seized.
