A man who was reporting at the Savanna-la-Mar Police Station in Westmoreland as a condition of his bail on a firearms-related charge, has been booked again under the new Firearms Act.
According to detectives, on Tuesday, November 5, the man, 25-year-old Renaldo Richards, was arrested at the police station after he was implicated in a shooting incident in the parish on Friday, September 6 of this year.
The allegations are that Richards opened gunfire at a taxi as its driver picked up passengers in Bastard Cedar Walk, Petersfield in the parish. Two persons were injured in the incident.
The new charges against Richards stemming from the taxi shooting are wounding with intent (two counts), possession of prohibited weapon, and using a firearm to commit a felony.
He was previously charged with unauthorised possession of ammunition.
Detectives are making arrangements for him to answer to the new charges in court.
