A shop owner was yesterday denied bail after being charged with having a gun in his possession while not being the holder of a firearm licence.
Enrico Joseph, 38, a shop owner, appeared at the Georgetown Magistrate’s Courts where Principal Magistrate Sherdel Isaacs-Marcus read the charge to him.
Joseph pleaded not guilty to the charge which alleges that on February 25, at East Ruimveldt, Georgetown, he had in his possession a .38 revolver while not being the holder of a firearm licence in force at the time.
The Police Prosecutor’s objection to bail was followed by the Magistrate remanding the man. The next court appearance will be on March 21.
