A MAN was granted bail after he was allegedly found with a loaded gun in Pinewood Gardens following a brief police chase.

Magistrate Lennox Coleby charged Javar Gray, 24, with possession of an unlicensed firearm and possession of ammunition.

Police reportedly spotted Gray in a group of men outside a residence on Sequoia Street on December 8. Although the defendant attempted to flee once he saw authorities, when police caught him, they allegedly found a tan and silver coloured Taurus G2C 9mm pistol on his person. This confiscated weapon was also found with nine rounds of 9mm ammunition.

After pleading not guilty to the charges, bail for the accused was set at $7,500 with one or two sureties each.

The trial in this matter begins on March 7, 2024.
