Cabbie held with illegal ammunition

Oshane Reid, 28, a taxi operator of Silver Stone, Greater Portmore, St Catherine, is scheduled to face the courts to answer ammunitions charges following an incident on Brunswick Avenue in the parish last Friday.

Reports from the Spanish Town police are that about 4:30 p.m., lawmen were conducting patrols in the area when they signalled the driver of a Nissan AD Wagon motor car to stop. The driver failed to comply. He was later intercepted. The motor vehicle was searched and sixteen 9mm rounds of ammunition were found in the glove compartment of the vehicle.

Reid was subsequently arrested and charged with illegal possession of ammunition, however, his court date has not yet been finalised.
