Gareth Walker Pleads Not Guilty to Firearm Possession Charges, Remanded Until Trial
Gareth Walker has entered a plea of ‘not guilty’ to charges related to firearm possession. He appeared in the magistrate’s court on Tuesday after voluntarily turning himself in to the police earlier this month, following a ‘Wanted Bulletin’ that was issued for him.
After his plea, the magistrate ordered that Walker be remanded at HM Prison until his trial, which is scheduled for September 16. The prosecution plans to call five witnesses when the case resumes in four months.
According to the police, Walker was intercepted on March 20, 2025, on Friar’s Hill road, where authorities found him in possession of a firearm and five rounds of .45 mm ammunition without a valid firearms license.
Additionally, Walker has the option to apply for bail through the High Court if he chooses to do so.
