A MAN was sentenced to three years in prison after admitting to having an unlicenced gun in his home last week.

Stephen Elliot, 35, Courtney Dames, 32, and Amber Dames, 31, were charged with possession of an unlicenced firearm before Magistrate Algernon Allen, Jr.

Police armed with a search warrant conducted a raid on a residence occupied by the defendants in the Hawkins Hill area on June 21. Authorities uncovered a silver Cobra .380 pistol with the serial number FS096629.

Elliot pleaded guilty to the offences. The charges against his two co-accused were withdrawn.

Elliot was sentenced to three years at the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services.
