The St Andrew South police have charged an 18-year-old gas distributor, Jahmar Bernard, also known as “Ztech,” with possession of a prohibited weapon and unauthorised ammunition.
Bernard, who hails from Hughenden Avenue in the parish, was arrested on November 14 following an incident in Three Oaks Gardens.
According to the Hunts Bay police, Bernard was spotted with two other men on a playing field, and their suspicious actions prompted officers to conduct a search. During the search, a strap bag belonging to Bernard was allegedly found to contain a 9mm Beretta pistol and a magazine loaded with seven 9mm rounds of ammunition.
Bernard has since been formally charged and remains in police custody. Further investigations are ongoing.
