A police team from Specialised Operations on Thursday seized fifty-three 12-gauge cartridges and a loaded gun in Trench Town, St Andrew.

No one was arrested.

Reports are that about 1:30 p.m., lawmen, acting on information, conducted an operation at two separate houses in the community.

The police say the search led to the discovery of a .45 pistol with a magazine affixed containing six .45 cartridges hidden inside a stove and the 12-gauge cartridges hidden in a sofa cushion in the other house.

Investigation continues.
