Logger granted bail for ammo possession

A 45-year-old logger of Alliance Road, Timehri, East Bank Demerara (EBD) on Wednesday found himself before the court, slapped with a charge of possession of unlicensed ammunition after reportedly being busted during a Police roadblock.
Sunil Roopnarine appeared before Principal Magistrate Judy Latchman and denied the charge which stated that on November 10, 2018 at Bamia, Linden-Soesdyke Highway, he had in his possession 10 live 12-gauge cartridges without being a licensed firearm holder.
The prosecution contended that on November 10, the defendant was a passenger in a bus destined for Mahdia, Region Eight (Potaro-Siparuni) which was searched, and the ammunition was found.
Magistrate Latchman released the defendant on $60,000 bail. Roopnarine is expected to make his next court appearance at the Linden Magistrate’s Court on November 21, 2018.
