Firearm licence fraudster granted bail reduction

Having been placed on $80,000 bail for falsely pretending he was in a position to obtain a firearm licence for Andre Ash, 48-year-old Lawrence Gittens of Charlotte Street, Georgetown on Friday successfully applied to Georgetown Magistrate Leron Daly to have his bail reduced to $50,000.
Gittens denied that between May 15 and 28, 2018, he obtained $250,000 from Ash with intent to defraud Ash by falsely pretending he could obtain a firearm licence for him.
Informing Magistrate Daly that investigations into the matter have been completed, Police Prosecutor Sanj Singh made no objection to Gittens having his bail reduced.
The matter will continue on July 27.
