GRAND Bahama police arrested three men at the Grand Bahama International Airport after a quantity of ammunition was discovered in a bag at a security checkpoint on Tuesday.

According to reports, shortly before 8am, officers at the Domestic Section discovered 50 live rounds of .22 ammunition in a bag presented to security officers for screening.

Investigations are continuing into the incident.

Traffic police were out yesterday at major intersections to distribute safety tips to motorists for the Independence Day holiday.

Assistant Superintendent Kenwood Taylor and his team of officers were at the Ranfurly Circus, Warren Levarity Highway, West Mall Drive and Poinciana Drive, sites where there have been recent traffic fatalities which have pushed the island’s total for 2015 to eight.

On May 24, a 61-year-old man died of injuries he sustained in a traffic accident on Warren Levarity Highway. His death was the island’s sixth traffic fatality. On June 26, 89-year-old Lynette Kelly was killed in a traffic accident at West Mall and Poinciana Drives. She was one of three passengers injured in Nissan Sentra and two weeks after the accident, a second passenger – 87-year-old Thelma Kensino – died in the Rand Memorial Hospital on Sunday.
