Shop owner denied bail for possession of firearm, ammo

Dec 13, 2013 News

 

 
A Durban Street shop owner was yesterday remanded to prison after he made his first court appearance before Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine-Beharry to answer to two charges – unlawful possession of firearms and unlawful possession of ammunition.
At the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court, 54-year-old Colin Allicock was indicted for allegedly having in his possession a .32 revolver as well as five rounds of .32 ammunition on December 10 in Georgetown, without being the holder of a firearm licence.
While Allicock pleaded not guilty to the claims, the prosecution relayed that the firearm and ammunition were discovered during a search the police conducted at his home.
Corporal Bharat Mangru who spearheaded the prosecution said that the search was a result of information they had received. He told the court that whilst under caution, the accused admitted to committing the offence.
Representing the accused was Defence Attorney Mark Waldron who said that Allicock was in his yard when the police approached him in an effort to seek out his eldest son.
The prosecution maintained that there was no special reason given for bail and the Chief Magistrate remanded the accused. The father of two will await his next court hearing which is set to be called before Magistrate Fabayo Azore, on January 13.
