THREE men were granted bail after they were accused of having a loaded firearm in their vehicle on Soldier Road last weekend.

Magistrate Shaka Serville charged Deangelo Key, 20, Jeremy Major Jr., 21, Bruce Sears Jr., 22 and Dale Burrows, 53, with possession of an unlicensed firearm and possession of ammunition.

Ian Cargill represented the accused.

The three male defendants were arrested on Soldier Road around 1.30pm on August 19 after a police search of their silver coloured Suzuki Swift allegedly found a silver and black coloured Ruger 9mm pistol.

The fourth defendant, Ms Burrows, was arrested because the vehicle was registered in her name.

All four defendants pleaded not guilty to the charges. The three male defendants found in the car were granted $6,500 bail with one or two sureties. Burrows was granted $1,500 bail with one or two sureties.

The accused were warned not to interfere with the witnesses and were told to return to court for a report. The initial trial date is December 13.
