A Princes Street, Georgetown resident who allegedly ditched a firearm in bushes when Police ranks closed in on him was on Thursday remanded to prison.
Twenty-eight-year-old Trevor Bruce denied the charge when he appeared before Magistrate Faith McGusty at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts.
It is alleged that on January 25, he had in his possession one 9mm pistol when he was not the holder of a firearm licence.
Police Prosecutor Delon Sullivan informed the court that Police acting on information went to Princes Street, where they saw the defendant sitting in a parked car and acting suspiciously.
The court heard that the ranks approached the defendant, who then reportedly threw a bag into a nearby clump of bushes. The court was told that the bag was retrieved and the firearm was discovered inside. The defendant was remanded, and the case was slated to continue on February 26, 2020.
