A Gray’s Farm man has been sentenced to over four years in prison after authorities discovered him in possession of an unlicensed firearm and ammunition during a routine patrol.
Akeem Brookes received concurrent sentences earlier today from Magistrate Ngaio Emanuel following his guilty plea to weapons charges.
The court imposed a sentence of four years, three months and 29 days for the illegal firearm, with a concurrent one-year term for ammunition possession.
Law enforcement officers apprehended Brookes on March 30 near Hoppers playing field when his behaviour drew their attention during a routine patrol.
A subsequent search revealed a .32 Walther pistol concealed in his clothing, loaded with one round in the chamber and six additional bullets in the magazine.

Good. Cause God knows what intent they had for that weapon.
One off the street. Hopefully this will set an example for the others
Do not be sorry for them that gun could have killed anyone of us later that same day
Good. Set an example otherwise things will continue to get out of hand.
More of these need to happen! Too many guns and too many crime
Take those guns off the streets (MASA- Make Antigua Safe Again).
Another one trading freedom and clean air for smelling faeces daily
