THREE men were arrested Wednesday after officers from the Area One Police in Montego Bay and the Jamaica Customs' Contraband Enforcement Team (CET) seized a Taurus semi-automatic pistol and 100 rounds of ammunition that arrived through a FedEx shipment at the Sangster International Airport.

One of the men was the consignee, police said.

An informed source told the Observer that the weapon, which had its serial number erased, and the ammunition were concealed in a DVD player, but were detected by the new x-ray machines installed at the ports. The shipment, the source said, originated from Stone Mountain in Georgia, United States. The items were declared as a DVD player and "new and worn clothing".

The three men, who had travelled in a Nissan Sunny motor car to the Sangster International Airport, were arrested when they went to clear the shipment. They had a seven year-old child with them.
