No bail for Security Officer for alleged illegal firearm, ammo

Aug 03, 2013 News

 
Julian Winter, 43 of Sussex and Lombard Streets, was yesterday remanded to prison after he was brought before Chief Magistrate Priya Beharry at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court.
The allegations, to which he pleaded not guilty, stated that he did not have a valid licence whilst being in possession of a .32 Taurus revolver.
It was also alleged that he had in his possession, seven matching rounds without being the owner of a licence.
Court documents revealed that on July 31 at a bar within the vicinity of Georgetown, Winter was seen with the said firearm strapped to his waist by a police officer who was on patrol. The officer asked him if he had a licence for the weapon and he said, “No.” He was subsequently arrested and charged with the said offence.
Prosecutor Bharat Mangru objected to bail based on the seriousness of the offence and the fact that no special reasons were submitted for such to be granted.
Mangru’s objection was upheld by the court and the accused is expected to return on August 5 for the commencement of his trial.
