Police are expected to haul a 40-year-old man before a Magistrate’s Court sometime this week on drug related charges.
Police reported that around 2:30pm on Monday officers executed a search warrant on the man’s Sunlight Cottage home, off East Street.
But according to Inspector Walter Evans, a Rottweiler greeted officers.
The dog was eventually shot and officers proceeded with the search, he said.
Inside the home, they reportedly discovered three pounds of marijuana with an estimated street value of just under $3,000.
Investigations were also continuing into a late night shooting on Monday.
Police said around 10:30pm Monday Rudolph Campbell and Roland Estinor were sitting on a wall just off Wilson Track when they were approached by a lone gunman demanding cash.
After receiving just $20, the bandit reportedly shot both men in the thigh. The pair was taken to the Princess Margaret Hospital where their condition was said to be non-life threatening, police said.
Meantime, police said the hunt continued for the bandits behind two recent armed robberies, the first taking place at a popular eatery on Village Road.
Police said around 7:45am Monday two gunmen – one wielding a shotgun, the other a handgun – emerged from the ceiling of the Kentucky Fried Chicken establishment, demanding cash from the employees.
Police said the culprits were taken to a safe and stole a large sum of money and other personal items before escaping in the direction of Blair Estates.
Later that day, police said they were called to the scene of another incident at an establishment on Jerome Avenue.
According to Inspector Evans, around 2:40pm a gunman entered the store and robbed an employee of five packs of T-shirts, three pairs of socks and a small quantity of cash before fleeing.
