Former guard remanded for alleged gun, ammo theft

Aug 24, 2013 News

 

A security guard who was previously employed at Toolsie Persaud Limited was remanded to prison after he pleaded not guilty to stealing a firearm and matching ammunition from the said company.
Magistrate Fabayo Azore who presides at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court read the charge to 44-year-old Julian Winter.
The court heard that on July 31, at Lombard and Sussex Streets, he stole one Taurus .32 revolver worth $103,000 and seven .32 live rounds valued $3200.
Police Prosecutor Ramsahoye Rambajue indicated to the court that the defendant was previously charged for unlawful possession of the said firearm and ammunition in another court.
Magistrate Azore then ordered that the case for the unlawful possession be transferred to the court of Chief Magistrate Priya Beharry on September 10 for report and fixture.
With regard to the matter of larceny, Prosecutor Rambajue told the court that the defendant was employed as a security guard at Toolsie Persaud Limited.  On the day in question, he was scheduled to perform duties from 21:00 hrs to 07:00hrs the following day. Under the command of a supervisor, when the accused reported for duty he was not issued a firearm because he was not authorized to carry one. Winter then went to a cupboard where the said firearm and ammunition were kept, removed it and proceeded to a nearby drinking shop. It was there that he placed the said revolver and matching rounds on the counter after he became intoxicated.
A police officer observed what had occurred and arrested Winter after he failed to produce a valid licence. He was subsequently charged.
Winter, who was without representation, was denied bail and is expected to make his next court appearance on September 9 before Chief Magistrate Priya Beharry.
