posted (December 11, 2012)
The GSU was at it again this morning - and are reporting a number of arrests and seizure tonight.

Rudolph Bennett - the uncle of a reputed member of the Southside Gang- was arrested and charged with kept Ammunition without a gun license for a single round. This morning the GSU officers were on operation on Caesar Ridge Road, in the base of the Southside gangster's territory. A search was conducted at 47 year old Rudolph Bennet's apartment at the corner of Faber's and Caesar Ridge Road. The search led to the discovery of ONE .380 round of ammunition under his mattress. He was arrested and charged with Kept Ammunition without a gun license.

A search was also conducted on the rail of the verandah of the same apartment building where a black plastic bag with 237grams of cannabis was found under a cloth jacket. The drug could not be linked to any of the occupants of the apartment building and it was labeled as found property. The GSU believes that the drug is a part of the SSG gang's supply.

Later in the morning the GSU team moved over to the Back-A-Town Bloods territory where a search was conducted on an open lot at the corner of Sarstoon and Ebony Street among a pile of garbage debris. The search led to the discovery of a black bag containing a Mack 11 Semi-automatic machine gun along with a magazine containing eleven 9mm rounds of ammunition, and a separate plastic bag containing 10 rounds of ammunition of the same calibre. No one was in the immediate area and it was labeled as found property. The firearm is believed to be part of the Back-A-Town Bloods arsenal.

The GSU team then moved on to another area. This time a search on an empty lot on Jasmine Street in the Peace In the Village territory where a black plastic bag containing fifteen 40 mm and four 9mm Aguila brand rounds of ammunition were found. No one was in the area and the stuff was labeled as Found Property. The GSU says the ammunition is believed to be for a reputed member of the PIV Gang who resides near the empty lot.
