PHILIPSBURG:--- On Tuesday, February 26th at approximately 10.30 p.m. a police patrol carrying out a routine control in Cape Bay area saw three unknown men standing in front of a bar.

During further investigation, the officers found a loaded handgun and several small plastic bags each containing a small amount of marijuana and cocaine. The firearm and drugs were confiscated for further investigation. The suspect was arrested on the spot and then taken the Philipsburg Police Head Quarters where he remains for further investigation.
