Three men and a woman are charged with breaches of the Firearms Act, following an incident yesterday, April 1, at a beach in Montego Bay, St James.
They are 26-year-old Kenroy Gayle, otherwise called ‘Keneil’, a steward of Cunningham Drive, Granville in the parish; 28-year-old Shaquille Williams, otherwise called ‘Shakur’, a deliveryman of Fuller District, Granville; 19-year-old Tian Blake, otherwise called ‘Tom’, of Gunns Drive, Granville; and 23-year-old Shian-Lee Bennett, otherwise called ‘Lee’, a supervisor of Church Lane, Paradise Norwood in St James.
The four are charged with possession of a prohibited weapon and unauthorised possession of ammunition.
Police reports are that about 12:20 a.m., a police team was in the area when they saw a Nissan AD Wagon motor car entering the beach compound. The lawmen approached the vehicle to address the driver who was blocking the entrance gate of the beach. But as the officers approached, the four began to behave in a manner that roused the cops’ suspicion.
The four were accosted and searched, along with the vehicle. During the search, one Canik TP95F Elite pistol with a magazine containing ten-9mm rounds was found under the rear seat of the motor car.
All four persons were taken into custody and charged after they were interviewed in the presence of their attorneys.
Their court date has not been finalised.
