Ex-con on gun charge

Royston Rowe

Royston Rowe, who was recently released from prison after serving two years for armed robbery, is now back behind bars after being charged with the unlawful possession of a gun.

Rowe, 31, of Newtown, Kitty, initially pleaded guilty to the charge against him, which was read by Principal Magistrate Sherdel Isaacs-Marcus in a city court yesterday.

The charge states that on July 16th, at Campbell Avenue, Georgetown, he had in his possession a .38 revolver without being the holder of a firearm licence.
