Police arrest chauffeur and two passengers onboard a limo in Baltimore

Police in Baltimore, US, stopped a chauffeur driven Lincoln Towncar after witnessing one of its passengers acting suspiciously. As the police pulled the vehicle over, one of the party onboard the limo was said to have thrown a loaded semi-automatic handgun out of the vehicle.

A spokesman for the police revealed that officers had noticed a man down an alleyway at approximately 9:30pm on Tuesday night “exhibiting characteristics of an armed person.” Upon realising he was being watched by police, the suspect then quickly made his way back to a waiting black stretch limo, and drove away.

It wasn’t long before the police caught up with the limousine and pulled the vehicle over for questioning. At this point, one of the passengers onboard attempted to discard the weapon by tossing it out of the limo.

The police proceeded to search the Lincoln Towncar and found Marijuana onboard. Police arrested 23-year-old Cornell Moor for hand-gun related offences and for possession with intent to supply. The limo chauffeur and another passenger in the limousine were also arrested with drug related offences connected to the substance found onboard.

It is not known whether the Lincoln Towncar was a rented limo, or whether it belonged to the suspect.
