A 25-year-old Grays Farm man has been sentenced to prison after admitting to firearm-related offences in the St. John’s Magistrate’s Court.

Aadham O’Garro appeared before Chief Magistrate Ngaio Emanuel on Friday, where he pleaded guilty to possession of a firearm and possession of ammunition. He was sentenced to two years’ imprisonment for the firearm offence and one year for the ammunition offence, with the sentences to be served concurrently.

The charges arose from a joint police operation carried out in the Green Bay area on Saturday, January 24. During the operation, officers recovered a Glock 17 nine-millimetre pistol along with fifteen rounds of 9mm ammunition.

O’Garro was among three individuals taken into custody during the operation. Police have not disclosed whether charges have been laid against the other suspects as investigations continue.

Authorities say the conviction underscores ongoing efforts by law enforcement to clamp down on the illegal possession of firearms and ammunition in Antigua and Barbuda.

    With all these arrest and convictions for fire arms it seems that the message isn’t being received, Because every other week it’s the same headline

    I know the family and this hurt bad. Sometimes the company young men keep will destroy them. Two years jail not easy, but maybe it save his life

    Plenty people know who had the gun before police even catch them. When will people start talking before it too late?
