EX-COP Andre Pollydore, was, on Monday, December 23, 2019, granted $100,000 bail for illegal firearm.

Pollydore of Lamaha Place, South Ruimveldt, appeared at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court before Magistrate Sherdel Isaac-Marcus and denied the charge, when it was read to him.

It is alleged that, on December 18, 2019, at Sheriff Street, Campbelleville, he had one 9mm pistol without being the holder of a firearm licence.
Attorney-at-law Dexter Todd, who represented Pollydore, told the court that his client had no knowledge of any gun and he was in the car with three other persons but only he (his client) was charged.

Todd also asked the court for his client to be released on reasonable bail.
The police prosecutors gave two different accounts of the matter. The first one stated that, on the day in question, police, acting on information, intercepted a car with Pollydore and three others; a search was carried out on Pollydore and the gun was found.
The second prosecutor intervened and stated that, on the day in question, police intercepted a car with Pollydore and three others. A search was conducted and Pollydore handed over the gun to the police.

He was arrested and later charged.
Magistrate Isaac-Marcus, due to the conflicting statements given by the prosecutors, granted Pollydore $100,000 bail and ordered him to report to the Kitty police station once a week until the conclusion of the matter.
The matter was adjourned until January 27, 2020.
