Two of the three men who were charged in January over an AK-47 rifle find at a home in Campbellville, Georgetown were yesterday released on bail after their attorney made a petition before a High Court judge.
Teon Alleyne, 30, of Soesdyke Highway, Andre Pollydore, 24, of South Ruimveldt, Georgetown, and Lloyd Roberts, 36, of North Ruimveldt, Georgetown, were slapped with four charges each – two for illegal possession of firearms and two for illegal possession of ammunition. However, only Alleyne and Pollydore are now out on bail.
Roberts remains on remand for the murder of Ryan Sergeant, the 19-year-old who was shot and killed outside the Rio Night Club, Queenstown, Georgetown, last September.
The court heard that on January 22 at 81 John Street Campbellville, Georgetown, the men had in their possession two weapons – one being an AK-47 rifle and one 9mm pistol – without being holders of firearm licences. It is also alleged that on the same day, the men had in their possession 60 rounds of 7.62 by 39mm ammunition and 20 rounds of 9mm ammunition while they were not owners of firearm licences.
According to reports, police acting on information swooped down on the home and conducted a search during which they found the illegal items along with several cellular phones.
