Accused in KN grenade attack charged over gun, ammo found at home

Alfie Garraway

Alfie Garraway, who surrendered to the police last week after a wanted bulletin was issued for him, was released on $120,000 bail yesterday after denying charges of illegal possession of a gun and ammunition.

Garraway, of Lot 71 Norton Street, Lodge, was charged at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts yesterday. He had previously been charged and awaits a trial for allegedly being one of the persons responsible for lobbing a grenade outside of the offices of the Kaieteur News newspaper.

A wanted bulletin had been issued for him after police raided his home and found an unlicensed gun as well as ammunition and marijuana. A woman, Shalisa Ellis, who was at the house at the time of the search, was not present in court yesterday due to a medical emergency, according to the court prosecutor.
