The police checked the driver's licence and registration and searched the car and both occupants. Officers found hard drugs, believed to be cocaine, on the passenger and multiple phones, bags of cannabis and a knuckle duster on the driver. Both men, aged 24 and 26 years old, were arrested on on suspicion of violating the Weapons and Ammunition Act and possession or trafficking of drugs. According to one police officer, the 24 year old man had pictures of weapons on his phone. Because of this the Public Prosecutor gave the police permission to search his home.

They also found illegal fireworks. All weapons and fireworks were seized. The suspects remained in custody until Justice released them on Tuesday. They will have to appear in court on a later date.
