TWO Defence Force officers accused of possessing a forged firearm licence were granted bail on Friday.

Prosecutors allege that Able Seaman Andrew McKenzie, 34, and Able Seaman Anvard Johnson, 40, were found with a forged firearm licence on January 8 in New Providence while allegedly attempting to evade law enforcement.

The men pleaded not guilty to a charge of possession of a forged document when they appeared before Senior Magistrate Algernon Allen Jr.

Bail was set at $5,000 for each accused, with one or two sureties required.

The defendants are scheduled to return to court for trial on February 23.

Bjorn Ferguson represented the accused, while Sergeant 3004 Forbes prosecuted the matter.
