Cops find gun made from power drill

Two men were charged for breaches of the Firearms Act following a police operation in St Ann on June 6 in which an unconventional firearm was found.

Adrian White of Bel Air, Phase 2 in Runaway Bay, St Ann, and Demar Ellis, otherwise called 'Lokka', an electrician of Heritage district in Manchester and Bel Air, Phase 2, have been charged with conversion to a prohibited weapon and unauthorised possession of ammunition.

Reports are that about 9 p.m., the police signalled White, who was the driver of a Nissan AD Wagon, to stop and he complied. A search of the vehicle was conducted and two 9mm spent casings were found in the driver's door. A secondary search was conducted at White and Ellis' home which yielded a drill that was converted into a gun. The weapon was found in a bedroom at the premises.

They were subsequently charged with the seizure, however, their court dates are being finalised.
