A MAN was sentenced to 18 months in prison after admitting to having an unlicenced gun on Hospital Lane earlier this week.
Senior Magistrate Derence Rolle Davis charged Kevin Hepburn, 45, with possession of an unlicenced firearm and possession of ammunition.
Police reportedly observed Hepburn acting suspiciously on Hospital Lane and South Street on July 17. A search of Hepburn’s person uncovered a black Taurus G2C 9mm pistol with the serial number ACH124872. The weapon was also found with six rounds of 9mm ammunition.
Hepburn pleaded guilty to the offence. He is also to pay a fine of $3,000 or risk an additional six months in prison.
