A minor is one of two persons charged with possession of a prohibited weapon and unauthorised possession of ammunition following an incident along Spanish Town Road in Kingston on Monday, December 29.
Those charged are a 15-year-old boy of Kingston 5 and 24-year-old Neville McDermott, a labourer of Kingston 16.
Reports from the Denham Town Police indicate that, about 11:25 p.m., a police team was on operation in the area when they signalled the driver of a motorcycle, accompanied by a pillion rider, to stop.
The command was ignored.
The police pursued the motorcycle, which later stopped along the roadway.
After both accused, dismounted the motorcycle, the police observed a firearm fall to the ground behind them.
They were immediately arrested and the weapon was seized.
Both accused were subsequently charged after a question-and-answer session.
