Police say they recovered this pistol and ten bullets in Woodlands.
Two men, one in Woodlands and another in Lentegeur, were arrested on gun charges within hours of each other on Thursday last week, say police.
Officers acting on a tip-off arrested a 38-year-old man at a house in Selene Way, Woodlands, at 5pm, after finding a gun, ten bullets and a plastic bag of 27 half-mandrax tablets hidden in a TV set, said Lentegeur police spokesperson Constable Navon van Houten.
At 8.45pm, police were doing a stop and search in Honeysuckle Street, Lentegeur, when they saw a man throw a gun onto the roof of a nearby shack. They arrested the 26-year-old man and recovered the gun and seven bullets.
