An Austrian man was on Saturday arrested and charged after a firearm, ammunition and several illegal weapons were found in his suitcase at the Sangster International Airport.
He is 47-year-old Thomas Roessler, business consultant of Vicnno, Austria.
Reports from the Sangster International Airport police are that Rossler arrived in the island on Wednesday, October 29, but was unable to locate one of his suitcases, which he reported missing to airport officials.
His suitcase was later found by an airline agent and a routine search was carried out by the Custom Enforcement Team which lead to the seizure of one .45 US Army model pistol (no firing pin), an empty magazine, one round of HP80 calibre catridge, four knives including two daggers, one small handsaw and a pair of binoculars.
