Two men, Eon Ward and Faisal Moore, were apprehended by Police Officers in Linden Saturday night, just moments after they robbed a farmer.
Police Headquarters reported that Ward and Moore, who were armed, where intercepted by ranks while driving on the Wasmar- Mackenzie Bridge in Linden, Region 10.
Just before, at about 21:15 hrs, Moore and Ward robbed Claus Pearce, a 38-year-old farmer, at Middle Street, Silvertown, Wismar.

Police said Moore pointed a handgun at Pearce while Ward pushed what felt like another handgun into the farmer’s abdomen and began to search him (Pearce). During that search, Moore allegedly grabbed Pearce’s gold chain and relieved him of his cell phone.
Moore and Ward then fled the scene.
Police Officers were quickly alerted and ranks on mobile patrol proceeded to the Wismar-Mackenzie bridge where they intercepted a burgundy Axio motorcar (#PAH 2346) driven by Moore. Ward was the only other passenger in the vehicle.
They were ordered to exit the vehicle, and a search was conducted in their presence.
After that, two 9mm pistols were found. One of the pistols had a magazine and four suspected 9mm rounds of ammunition, and the other had a magazine with three suspected 9mm rounds. Further checks unearthed an extra clip (magazine with 26 suspected 9MM rounds).
The men were escorted to the Wismar Police Station, where further checks were made on their persons and in the car, and the stolen gold chain and Samsung cell phone were recovered.
The men were taken into custody and are slated to be charged.
