A RECENTLY established search unit was deployed to help recover weapons and ammunition which went missing on Wednesday.

A Sterling sub-machine gun, two revolvers, and nearly 400 rounds of ammunition were recovered following the arrest of Constable Kwong Sze-wing in a Kowloon City park.

A team of Kowloon City vice squad officers on anti-drug duties spotted a man near the Walled City just before 1.10 am yesterday.

Officers said they found a .38 revolver loaded with six rounds, 14 spare rounds, and one round for the Sterling in the man's bag.

Organised Crime and Triad Bureau detectives found the second revolver and the Sterling and about 130 rounds of ammunition in scrub underneath the flyover between Wai Yip Street and Kwun Tong Road in Kowloon Bay.

Detectives and a team of officers from the force search unit found the remaining ammunition yesterday afternoon - 101 .38 revolver rounds and 119 rounds for the Sterling.

Some of the seized bullets had been loaded in two Sterling magazines.
