Two men who police say admitted to having cannabis and illegal ammunition in their possession were today released on bail.
Mark McLean and Lewis Banks were today arraigned before Senior Magistrate Leron Daly at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts.
The two men denied two charges brought against them and were released on $100,000 bail each for each of the two charges brought against them.
It is alleged that on March 8, at Section K Campbelleville, Georgetown, they had in their possession eight 4mm ammunition without being the holder of a firearm license. It is also alleged that they had in their possession, 184 grammes of cannabis for the purpose of trafficking.
Around 13:00 hrs police, acting on intelligence information, went to Section L Campbelleville where they saw the two men on arrival. Contact was made with the two men and two other men who were also present. A search was conducted and the said illicit items were found in a room.
The men were then questioned about the items and after admitting they owned them, were arrested. Hence today’s charge which they denied and were granted bail over.
The matter has been adjourned until April 8.
