Two adults who were charged in January after three illegal firearms were found in a motor vehicle in which they were travelling, were offered bail on Monday.
Sheena Price, a 33-year-old businesswoman was offered $100,000 bail following an application by her attorney Carole Phillips.
Kemar Bent, 27, was offered $150,000 bail following an application by his attorney Donahue Martin.
Ms. Prince and Mr. Bent and two minors were charged with possession of a prohibited weapon, unauthorised possession of ammunition, and being part of a criminal organisation.
The minors were previously offered bail.
The St. Catherine South Police say on January 21, about 1:00 a.m., they received information that the quartet was travelling along the Old Harbour Bay main road in a white Toyota Probox motorcar.
The vehicle was intercepted by the police.
During a search of the vehicle, three 9mm pistols with loaded magazines were found.
The four suspects were subsequently arrested but it was only after they were transported to the station the police realised that two of the males were 15 years old.
