Repeat offender charged for illegal firearm in Trelawny

TRELAWNY, Jamaica – One man was arrested and charged following a firearm seizure on the Salt Marsh main road in Trelawny on Monday, August 29.

Charged is 24-year-old Neil Walters, a construction worker of Charles Town, St Mary.

Reports from the Falmouth Police are that about 9:40 pm, a team of officers was conducting a Vehicular Check Point operation in the area when they signalled the driver of a Toyota Isis motor car to stop.

The vehicle and its occupant were searched and one Colt Commander .45-millimetre pistol fitted with a magazine containing three .45-millimetre cartridges was allegedly found in the possession of the occupant.

Following an investigation, it was revealed that Walters is on bail for a similar breach of the Firearms Act.

He was arrested and subsequently charged with possession of a prohibited weapon and

unauthorised possession of ammunition.
