In a dramatic turn of events, a man has been taken into custody following what authorities describe as a high-risk traffic stop, which culminated an incident possibly linked to gunfire reported several miles away.
Around 10:30 PM last night, the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary (RNC) received an alarming call from an individual near Clancy Drive by Quidi Vidi Lake, who believed he was targeted in a shooting. The caller provided the police with a detailed description of the vehicle and its occupants involved in this frightening encounter.
Responding swiftly, officers intercepted a vehicle on Freshwater Road, where they witnessed one of the men inside discarding four small bags that were suspected to contain cocaine, along with a pair of brass knuckles, out of the window. As a result of this action, a 30-year-old man was apprehended and taken into custody.
