A vegetable vendor and his 49-year-old wife were on Friday remanded to prison after they appeared before Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan, charged with five counts of unlawful possession.
Thirty-nine-year-old David Daygoo and Nicola Lambert, both of Lot 7 Craig Street, Campbellville, Georgetown, denied the charges brought against them.
The charges alleged that the couple were found to be in possession of eight 12-gauge cartridges, 35 rounds of ammunition, 304 grams of cannabis, one 9mm pistol and thirteen 9mm rounds while not being the holder of a firearm licence.
According to the couple’s attorney, the Police went to the couple’s apartment on January 24 and found the illegal items in the ceiling of the apartment where many other persons lived prior to his clients.
He noted that no admission was made by his clients, no fingerprints were found on the items and there is no evidence linking his clients to the items.
However, Police Prosecutor Gordon Mansfield objected to bail and noted that Daygoo reportedly told Police that the items were given to him to keep by his friend called “Sharkman” who is presently out of the country.
They were both remanded. The case will continue on February 14.
