A dozen or more patrol cars from 51 Division and others nearby last night (Mar 18) converged on The Esplanade between George Street South and Frederick Street following a call from an officer that his partner was chasing a man up George.

The suspect was black with a goatee. The pursuit officer didn’t catch the man, but found a pistol cartridge clip on the pursuit path.

Two men have been arrested, one 19 and the other 24. No further details have been released. The Bulletin will update this story as more information is disclosed.
