Police found a gun and 161 rounds of ammunition in a home in The Valley after a person of interest fled from them this week.
Tactical unit officers were on patrol in the north of the area on 1 July when they encountered and engaged them, a statement on Facebook from the Royal Anguilla Police Force said.
