Raphael Hintzen, who was previously jailed for robbery, was ordered to serve a three-year sentence last week after he admitted to charges of illegal possession of a pistol and ammunition.
Hintzen pleaded guilty to the two charges after they were read to him by Magistrate Clive Nurse in the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court Seven.
The court heard that on December 18th, 2019, at West Ruimveldt, Hintzen had a .32 Taurus Millennium pistol and four live rounds of matching ammunition in his possession, without being the holder of firearm licence.
