Man Charged with Possession of Unlicensed Firearm Following Social Media Video, 23 November

A man, age 38 of George Town, was formally charged on 16 November with Possession of an Unlicensed Firearm. The charge stems from a video that was posted on social media earlier this year, where the man was seen holding a shotgun. Investigations determined that the man is not a licensed firearms holder and that the shotgun belonged to a licensed firearm holder who is known to him.

The man appeared in court yesterday, 22 November, and was bailed pending a further appearance on 13 December.
