Four individuals—Sharome Dopwell, Erel Hector, Dakari Hector, and Ashroy Patterson—have been remanded into custody following charges related to the possession of an unlicensed firearm and ammunition. The charges stem from an incident on November 7 at Walvaroo, Sion Hill, where the men were allegedly found with a Polymer80 pistol and 30 rounds of 9mm ammunition, both without the necessary licenses under the Firearms Act. The accused appeared before Chief Magistrate Colin John at the Serious Offences Court in Kingstown on Monday, November 10, 2025. While Patterson pleaded guilty to both charges, the other three defendants entered not guilty pleas. Inspector of Police Renrick Cato, the prosecutor, accepted Patterson’s guilty plea but emphasized that the prosecution would continue against the remaining defendants. Cato objected to bail for all four men, citing the severity of the charges and concerns that their release could interfere with the ongoing investigation, which reportedly involves advanced technology. Additionally, Dopwell is already on bail for a separate firearm-related offense. Defense counsel Grant Connell acknowledged the challenges in securing bail and requested a short adjournment, but the court adjourned the matter to Monday for a bail review.
