Kaieteur News – A fast-food vendor, who appeared at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts on Tuesday, was granted bail in the sum of $100,000 after he answered to a charge of being in possession of an unlicensed gun and ammunition.
Forty-five-year-old Cyril Joseph Dyer, also known as ‘Bling,’ of Light Street, Alberttown, Georgetown, appeared before Acting Chief Magistrate Sherdel Isaacs-Marcus, who read the charge to him. The charge stated that Dyer was in possession of a firearm and ammunition while not being the holder of a licence. He pleaded not guilty to both charges.
According to police, at about 16:00hrs on January 26, 2024, Dyer visited the office of a Superintendent at the Brickdam Police Station to have his firearm licence renewed. Following his request, it was discovered by the rank that he was not the holder of a firearm licence. The man was in possession of a 9mm Glock pistol and 13 rounds of 9mm rounds of ammunition.
The accused was granted bail by the magistrate and the court matter was adjourned. He is scheduled to appear before the court on February 21, 2024 for disclosure.
