GUN FIND RESULTS IN A MINOR AND A MAN BEING CHARGED
A minor is one of two persons charged with Possession of a Prohibited Weapon and Unauthorised Possession of Ammunition following an incident along Spanish Town Road, Kingston 14, on Monday, December 29.
Charged are a 15-year-old boy of Kingston 5 and Neville McDermott, a 24-year-old labourer of Kingston 16.
Reports from the Denham Town Police are that at about 11:25 p.m., a police team was on operation in the area when they signalled the rider of a motorcycle, accompanied by a pillion, to stop. However, the command was ignored. The police pursued the motorcycle, which later stopped along the roadway. After both accused dismounted the motorcycle, the police observed a firearm fall to the ground behind them. They were immediately arrested, and the weapon was seized.
Both accused were subsequently charged after a question-and-answer session.
Their court date is being finalised.
