A MAN was sentenced to 20 months in prison yesterday after admitting to having a loaded gun in his car on Bay and George Streets last Friday.

Magistrate Lennox Coleby charged Teniro Minns, 25, and Jeremy Price, 22, with possession of an unlicensed firearm and possession of ammunition.

The pair were arrested on October 6 after police found a black 9mm Taurus G2C pistol and eight rounds of 9mm ammunition in their white Toyota Passo.

Minns alone pleaded guilty to the offence. His co-accused had the charges against him dropped after pleading not guilty.

Minns served a two-and-a-half-year sentence after being convicted of firearm possession in 2018.

Minns was sentenced to 20 months for the latest offence.
