Update: 2:04PM Police are waiting on a report from the military to determine if the gun that was sold to a businessman belongs to the army.
The businessman bought a Ruger Mark 2 Pistol on the street from a youth for close to $200 and last week dropped it with police.
Assistant director operations, SSP Erami Raibe confirmed the military have possession of the gun.
SSP Raibe said two people were been questioned in relation to the matter but declined to say if they were suspected to be the sellers of the gun.
"We cannot say at the moment if these youths are the same people who sold the gun to the businessman, he said.
"Investigations are continuing and the gun has been sent to the military camp for analysis and to determine if the weapon belongs to their batch or was it smuggled into the country."
