Detectives assigned to the Westmoreland Policing division have charged a boat captain with Possession of Prohibited Weapon and Unauthorised Possession of Ammunition following the seizure of a Kel-Tec pistol with a magazine containing five .380 rounds on the Ferris main road in the parish on Monday, August 11.
Charged is 37-year-old Javin Grant, otherwise called ‘Jah Vinci’, of Long Pond, Little London, Westmoreland.
Reports from the Savanna-la-Mar Police are that at about 7:35 p.m., Grant, who was driving a grey Honda motorcar, was signalled to stop by lawmen at a Vehicular Check Point (VCP), to which he complied. The vehicle was searched, and the firearm and ammunition were found inside.
He was arrested and taken into custody, where he was charged with the offence shortly after.
His court date is being finalised.
