A mason accused of possession of 19 rounds of ammunition was granted bail yesterday after he told a court that he was badly beaten by police.
Stefan Anthony Lacaille, 31, a mason of Kitty, Georgetown, was arraigned before Principal Magistrate Sherdel Isaacs-Marcus, who appeared virtually at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts. Lacaille denied that on October 14, at Duncan Street, Newtown, Kitty, Georgetown, he had 19 .223 rounds of Remington ammunition without being the lawful holder of a firearm licence.
According to Police Prosecutor Annalisa Brummell, on the day in question, police went to the location and noticed Lacaille acting in a suspicious manner. He was approached and the police noticed a white bag fitted in a hole of a wire mesh fence. The bag was taken down and inside the police discovered the 19 rounds of ammunition. The man was then cautioned and arrested.
