THIRTY-ONE-YEAR-OLD Heben Glasgow, of Kingelley Village, West Coast Berbice, was remanded to  prison on charges of being in illegal possession of a firearm, spent shells and ammunition.

The allegations against him, when he appeared in the New Amsterdam Court, is that he did not have the relevant licences at Plantation Brahm, on September 19.
Magistrate Adela Nagamootoo, before whom the construction worker made his appearance, transferred the cases to Blairmont Court, West Bank Berbice, for report and fixture on Monday.
Earlier, Defence Counsel Joel Edmond, in a failed bid to secure pre-trial liberty for him, told the court that Glasgow and another person were, initially, taken into custody by the police, searched and sent away.
The lawyer said it meant that the police, by arresting two persons and sending them away, displayed uncertainty on the part of the investigators.
However, Magistrate Nagamootoo upheld the objection to bail by Police Corporal Orin Joseph.
