An Alberttown resident was yesterday sentenced to two years in jail after he was found guilty of illegal possession of a firearm and ammunition.
Magistrate Dylon Bess handed down the sentence to an absent Anthony Bharat, after the conclusion of the trial, which was held in the defendant’s absence since he had been previously granted bail.
The charge against Bharat stated that on March 18, 2016, at Georgetown, he had in his possession a .45 pistol, and six live matching rounds without being the holder of a valid firearm licence.
