Cesar Suarez

A Venezuelan man was on Monday sentenced to two years in jail after he admitted to illegally having a pistol and matching rounds of live ammunition.

Cesar Suarez was brought into the courtroom of Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan, who read the two charges to him.

The first charge alleged that Suarez, on December 7th, at Eteringbang Landing, Cuyuni Landing, illegally had a Beretta 9 mm pistol in his possession without being a licensed firearm holder.

It was further alleged that on the very date and at the same location, he illegally had 15 rounds of 9 mm ammunition in his possession.
