No bail on arms, ammo charges

Nicholas Williams was refused bail by Magistrate Brambhanan Dubay who read charge that last week Thursday, Williams had in his possession a Glock pistol, a Taurus pistol, an AK-47 assault rifle, a Beretta pistol and another firearm manufactured in Belgium. In addition, he was also charged with possession of 144 rounds of ammunition.

The charges were laid by PC Barry Bacchus of San Fernando CID.

Attorney Subhas Panday who represented Williams, asked for bail to be granted but Magistrate Dubay refused on the ground that five years ago, Williams had a case for firearms possession.

The magistrate advised Williams of his right to apply to a judge in chambers for bail.
