A MARRIED couple was charged yesterday after a firearm arrest at their residence on McKinney Drive last week.
Chief Magistrate Roberto Reckley arraigned Rubens Scutt, 33, and Charea Rolle-Scutt, 26, on two counts of possession of unlicenced firearms with intent to supply and four counts of possession of ammunition with intent to supply.
The pair faced 12 further counts of possession of uncustomed goods connected with the seized weapons and ammunition.
The couple was arrested at their home around 10pm on July 24 after police uncovered eight firearms and over 1,000 rounds of ammunition.
These included a black Barra 400e air rifle, a white and black Crossman ST-1 air rifle, a black Barra air rifle, a black Gamo Model 430 air pistol, a black CZ 750 compact air pistol, a brown Sig Sauer 911 air pistol and two black Austria air pistols.
The couple was also allegedly found with 1,000 rounds of .223 ammunition, 200 rounds of 9mm ammunition, 475 12-gauge shotgun shells and 500 rounds of .22 ammunition.
While the accused pleaded not guilty to all customs charges, they were informed that the gun and ammunition charges would be transferred to the Supreme Court through a voluntary bill of indictment (VBI).
Under the terms of their bail, the couple must sign in at the Carmichael Road Police Station every Wednesday and Saturday by 6pm.
