A MAN is behind bars after police allegedly found him throwing a bag with two guns out his house window on Eastern Road earlier this week.

Magistrate Lennox Coleby charged John Ferguson, 41, with possession of a firearm with intent to supply and possession of ammunition.

Police on mobile patrol arrested Ferguson at his residence on Eastern Road after they allegedly recovered a Sig Sauer P365 pistol and a Taurus 9mm pistol at around 12.30pm on August 14. In addition to confiscating 11 rounds of 9mm during the arrest of the defendant, police also seized $6,122 from his house, suspecting the money to be proceeds of crime.

After pleading not guilty to the offence, Ferguson was remanded to the Bahamas Department of Correctional Service until his bail hearing on August 24.

Inspector Lincoln McKenzie served as the prosecutor.
