Alberttown man remanded on firearm and ammo charges

A man who is alleged to have had a firearm and a quantity of ammunition in his possession without licence was on Monday remanded to prison when he appeared before acting Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine-Beharry at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court.

It is alleged that on October 7 at Alberttown, Georgetown, Leonard Allicock had in his possession four live rounds of ammunition and a .38 revolver without being the holder of the relevant licences.
The defendant pleaded not guilty.

Prosecutor Lionel Harvey said that on the day in question, the police acting on information conducted a search and found the items strapped to the defendant’s waist.

Allicock was later remanded to prison. His matter was transferred to Court Five for tomorrow.
