A La Clery man who police said tried to escape from a special patrol has been charged with the illegal possession of a firearm and ammunition.
Robert Ricardo Alcindor, aka “Conqueror” of Yorke Hill, La Clery, was also charged with failure to stop based on the instruction of a police, driving a vehicle without a licence and driving an uninsured vehicle.
Acting on information, a police patrol intercepted a vehicle that was being driven by Alcindor along one of the Marisule feeder roads before the Eastwinds gap, heading North.
During a search on his vehicle, police found a 9 MM semi automatic pistol and 13 matching rounds of ammunition.
He is expected to make a court appearance to face these charges soon.
