PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad, CMC – A policewoman is among three people charged with gun trafficking following the discovery of a firearm with ammunition and a silencer at a house where the trio reside.

Kurl Ann McEachnie, an acting police inspector attached to the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service (TTPS) Police Band, was granted bail in the sum of TT$20,000 with surety when she appeared before Magistrate Brambhanan Dubay at the Arima Magistrates’ Court.

She will reappear in court on April 23, along with co-accused Cindy Gonzales, who was granted bail in the sum of TT$20,000 with surety or TT$5,000 cash bail.
