Weapons and narcotics found in vehicle

U.S. Customs reporting a vehicle with two 25 year old men inside, along with a 35 and 38 year old male, who were caught making a u-turn on the bridge over the weekend were sent to primary inspection.

The group claimed they had just stopped at Duty Free and did not intend to travel to Canada.

But a search of their vehicle turned up a Glock 43 with 47 rounds, two pounds of marijuana, 80 tablets of a narcotic and more than $8,500 in cash.

A stolen Springfield XD-9 was found in the front waistband of one of the suspects.

Buffalo media reporting one of the men claimed ownership of all the items and was turned over to Buffalo police to face charges.
