DEON Gordon, of Lot 88 Leopold Street, Werk-en-Rust, was remanded to prison yesterday, on a charge being in possession of an unlicensed firearm.

Before Acting Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine-Beharry, he pleaded not guilty to the offence, particulars of which stated that, on September 12, he had a .38 special revolver without being the holder of a licence.
Police Sergeant Gordon Mansfield, prosecuting, said ranks were conducting mobile patrol on Croal Street, also in Georgetown, when they observed the defendant riding a bicycle and acting suspiciously.
The latter was stopped and a search of his person yielded the gun for which he admitted he was not the holder of a licence.
The case will be called, again, on October 31.
