TWO MEN were granted $7,000 bail yesterday after they were accused of having a loaded gun in their car near Boyd Road earlier this week.
Magistrate Raquel Whyms charged Ashton Bethel, 26, and Levi Bethel, 33, with possession of an unlicensed firearm and possession of ammunition.
Police on mobile patrol stopped the defendants in a white Nissan Note for driving suspiciously around Boyd Road and Providence Avenue on the morning of September 12. A search of the vehicle allegedly uncovered a black Walther PPS 9mm pistol and seven rounds of 9mm ammunition.
After the accused pleaded not guilty to the charges, their bail was set at $7,000 with one or two sureties each. Ashton is expected to sign in at the Nassau Street Police Station every Thursday by 6pm and Levi is expected to report to Quakoo Street Police Station every Monday by 6pm.
Their trial is set for October 10.
