Three former policemen, who were recently busted in a car with suspected gang leader, Teon Allen called “Spoil Child,” were today charged with illegal possession of arms and ammunition.
Those charged are 26-year-old Jason Gonsalves of Lot 69 Dennis Street, Campbellville; twenty-three-year-old Shakeil Grant, of 40 Plum Park, Sophia, and thirty-three-year-old Teon Alleyne, of 567 E Wismar Housing Scheme, Linden. They were jointly charged.
The first three charges alleged that on November 26, 2019, at Houston East Bank Demerara, the three men had a 9MM pistol along with 16 matching rounds and seven .45 ammunition in their possession when they are not holders of firearm licenses.
It was further alleged that on the same day, the trio discharged a loaded firearm at Inspector Mohan.
Gonsalves and Grant denied the charges after they were read to them by the Magistrate. However, Allen was unable to answer to the changes since he is still hospitalized.
They were both released on $240,000 bail each. The matters were adjourned until January 8, 2020.
According to information, on the day in question, ranks, acting on information, were chasing the car Allen was driving when he (Allen) allegedly lost control of the vehicle and crashed into a fence at Houston, East Bank Demerara (EBD).
It was at this point that Allen reportedly exited the vehicle and pointed a gun at the lawmen. He was then shot.
Police ranks reportedly received information that three men were heading to Georgetown in a car with illegal guns.
When ranks managed to catch up with the car, Allen tried to escape but crashed. All three men were eventually arrested.
Allen has several matters before the court and he is said to be in an ongoing war with members from another gang, which is being headed by a Lindener, hiding out in Cayanne.
On September last, Allen’s cousin, Eon Williams was gunned down in Linden. His girlfriend was injured. The attackers are said to be members of Allen’s rival gang.
It is suspected that Williams’ death was in retaliation to Allen allegedly shooting at the home of the Cayanne gang leader’s mother.
Less than a month after Williams was killed, three gunmen attempted to shoot Allen at the La Penitence market but one of the shooters was eventually injured when Allen returned fire.
