A 23-year-old man was remanded on a possession of firearm charge when he appeared before Magistrate Hazel Octive-Hamilton in the Georgetown Magistrate’s Court last Wednesday.
Elvis Piggot of Linden allegedly had in his possession on March 30 one 12-gauge Mossberg pump action shotgun in the Upper Berbice River area without being the holder of a valid firearm licence. He pleaded not guilty to the charge.
The matter was transferred to the Kwakwani Magistrate’s Court and will continue on April 18.
