Potters man pleads guilty to illegal firearm and ammunition charges

Twenty-five-year-old Malique Challenger has pleaded guilty to unlawful possession of a firearm and ammunition.

Challenger appeared before the court this morning alongside his co-accused 23-year-old Taren Weston.

Weston walked free, after the charges against him were withdrawn.

Police arrested and jointly charged Weston of Yorks and Challenger of Potters for unlawful possession of a firearm and ammunition.

On Saturday, 21 June, police officers executed a search warrant at a property in Yorks, where both accused were present. During the search, the officers discovered one (1) .45mm Remington pistol, along with seven (7) rounds of matching ammunition and a quantity of camouflage clothing.

Challenger will be sentenced on Thursday.

The police continue to intensify efforts in removing illegal firearms and ammunition off the nation’s streets and are encouraging the public to report any suspicious activity by contacting the Criminal Investigations Department at 462-3913 or Crimestoppers at 800-TIPS (8477).
