By: Staff Reporter, SKNVibes

    BASSETERRE, St. Kitts-- POLICE have finally laid charges against one of their own in connection with the recent discovery of a Beretta at a popular hang out spot on Fort Street.

     

    Charges were laid against 26-year-old Tyrique Jones of Wades Garden for the offences of Possession of Firearm and Possession of Ammunition.

     

    Jones was charged in relation to the discovery of a Beretta PX4 Storm Pistol and several rounds of .9mm ammunition that were found in a female bag during a security check at the entrance of a night spot in Basseterre on October 22, 2021. 

     

    Police in an initial press statement stated that 29-year-old Sylaine Phipps of Boyds Village  was slapped with the offences of Possession of Firearm and Possession of Ammunition after the weapon and rounds were found in her purse.

     

    In that statement too, police said that another individual was also with Phipps when the gun was found. That person SKNVibes was told was a police office, who has now been identified as Jones.

     

    Phipps was charged on October 26 while Jones was prefered with his charges two days later after the file was sent to the Director of Public Prosecution for advice.

     

    The two have been remanded to Her Majesty’s Prison.
