A MAN was granted bail yesterday after a loaded gun was allegedly found in his car last week.

Magistrate Lennox Coleby charged Joey Scott, 38, with possession of an unlicenced firearm and possession of ammunition.

Geoffrey Farquharson represented the defendant.

Scott was allegedly found with a black 9mm Hellcat pistol and eight rounds of 9mm ammunition in his yellow coloured Honda Fit on November 9 near Blue Hill Road South.

After pleading not guilty to the charges, Scott’s bail was set at $9,500 with one or two sureties. Under this bail, he must sign in at the Carmichael Road Police Station every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday by 6pm. 

Scott’s trial starts on December 11.
