Police have arrested a suspect after a loaded gun was left in a cab.

A taxi picked up a passenger in the first 100-block of St. Anne’s Road back on Feb. 1, 2015.

When they arrived at the destination, in the 300-block of Blake Street, a loaded gun was left behind.

Police investigated for several months before releasing surveillance images linked to the incident this week.

With the public’s help, a suspect was identified.

On Thursday, the suspect was arrested.

Mathew Kenneth Ellison, 23, has been charged with numerous firearms-related offences for his alleged involvement.

He was detained in custody.
