Police raid ends in ammo conviction

A police raid on Kut Avenue this morning resulted in the detention of nine people, five of them children. According to court reports, around ten today officers from the Criminal Investigation Unit visited the home of Ana Edwards and discovered nine live rounds of point thirty-eight calibre ammunition in one of the bedrooms. As is procedure, everyone in the house at the time was arrested and transported to the Queen Street Police Station. The group included four adults and five minors, aged eleven to seventeen. Police originally charged everybody for the crime, but when the matter landed on the desk of prosecutor Stanley Bodden, he withdrew charges against everyone except seventeen year old Jamile Young who offered to plead guilty to possession of the bullets. Young has since been fined ten thousand dollars by Magistrate Albert Hoare. If he does not pay the money by the end of May, he will spend the next year behind bars.
