Darrel John, who was charged last year with illegal firearm and ammunition possession, was yesterday found guilty on two counts and now awaits a probation report before sentencing.
John, 23, was charged with having a .38 revolver in his possession on September 27, 2015, when he was not the holder of a firearm licence.
He was also charged with having six .38 rounds of ammunition, four 9mm rounds of ammunition and two .32 rounds of ammunition in his possession, on the same day.
Trial Magistrate Judy Latchman found John guilty of being in possession of the revolver and the six matching rounds of ammunition, but found that no case was made out in relation to the four 9mm rounds and two .32 rounds after insufficient evidence was presented by the prosecution.
