A MAN awaiting trial on charges of importing ammunition in 2023 has been remanded to prison, accused of breaching his bail conditions again this month.
Prosecutors allege Adrian Cleare, 38, failed to charge his monitoring device on seven days from November 1 to November 7 in Eleuthera. He is also accused of breaking his curfew on November 6 and 7 and of failing to sign in at the Harbour Island Police Station on November 6.
Cleare pleaded not guilty to ten counts of violating his bail conditions before Magistrate Abigail Farrington.
Reserve Inspector Deveaux, the prosecutor, objected to bail, citing the serious nature of the offences and Cleare’s previous similar matters. Cleare argued that he was still a fit candidate for bail.
He was denied bail and remanded to the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services until he returns to court on November 17.
Cleare was on Supreme Court bail on charges of importation of ammunition, conspiracy to import ammunition and possession of ammunition with intent to supply. He also faces 22 earlier counts of violating his bail conditions.
He was arrested in Harbour Island on August 15, 2023, after he and another suspect were allegedly found with 50 rounds of .38 ammunition.
