A man was yesterday remanded for having an unlicensed firearm and ammunition during an attempted robbery at Bourda Market.
It is alleged that on October 21, at Bourda Market, Georgetown, Shavid Allison, in the company of others, attempted to commit the felony of robbery-under-arms on Julia Mc Almon.
It is also alleged that on the same date, at the same place, he had in his possession six live rounds of .32 ammunition, without being the holder of a firearm licence. In another charge, Allison was accused of having had in his possession a .32 pistol, without being the holder of a firearm licence at the time.
The father of one pleaded not guilty to the three allegations against him in the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court before Magistrate Fabayo Azore.
Allison was placed on $100,000 bail for the offence of attempting to commit a felony and remanded for the firearm and ammunition possession charges. He was told to return to court on November 28 for his next hearing.
Less than a week ago, two others appeared in the same city court before Magistrate Dylon Bess, where they were charged and placed on the sum of $75,000 bail each for attempting to commit a felony against Mc Almon.
