The Royal Grenada Police Force (RGPF) says a retired airline pilot from the USA was arrested and charged for the offences of possession of an illegal firearm and possession of ammunition.
A statement says charges were laid against Richard Cyrus Lockman, 66, a citizen of Minnesota, following the discovery of one Smith & Wesson 9mm Pistol and four rounds of ammunition in his luggage at the Maurice Bishop International Airport.
He subsequently accompanied officers to his yacht at La Phare Bleu, St George, where a search conducted revealed 23 rounds of ammunition and six Warheads.
Lockman appeared at the St George’s Magistrate’s Court on January 15 where he pleaded guilty to the charges.
He was fined EC$4,000, which was paid.
