HALIFAX – Regional police have two young offenders in custody after a dramatic take down on Joseph Howe Drive on Sunday afternoon.
Officers were called to an area near the BMO Centre in Bedford around 4:15 p.m. on Sunday, after it was reported the occupants of a nearby car were in the possession of a handgun.
Police said officers eventually performed what was called a “high risk take down” during a traffic stop on Joseph Howe Drive in Halifax, which led to a handgun and a quantity of marijuana being seized from the car and two male occupants being arrested.
The two youths are scheduled to appear in court on Monday and police said the investigation remains open.
