THREE Haitian men have been remanded to prison after being accused of possessing a loaded gun in New Providence last month.

Magistrate Lennox Coleby arraigned 18-year-old Jeffrey Pierre-Paul, 21-year-old Stevenson Florancy, and 23-year-old Lundsay Florancy on charges of possession of an unlicenced firearm and possession of ammunition.

The defendants were allegedly found with a black and silver Taurus G2S 9mm pistol and four rounds of ammunition on December 30, 2024.

All three men pleaded not guilty.

Prosecutor Assistant Superintendent of Police Lincoln McKenzie requested that a check be made on the trio’s immigration status before final bail considerations are made.

The accused will remain remanded at the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services until their next bail hearing on January 9.

Alphonso Lewis represented the defendants.
