A St Catherine man who was accused of robbing a deliveryman at gunpoint was freed in the Gun Court on Wednesday after the prosecution offered no evidence.

Ricardo Brown, a 22-year-old labourer, of Bridgeport, Portmore, St Catherine, appeared before Justice Judith Pusey on charges of illegal possession of firearm and robbery with aggravation.

It was alleged that a motorcyclist was on his way to make a delivery when he was ordered at gunpoint to relinquish his motorbike.

He was also robbed of his cellular phone, money and the meal he was delivering.

A report was made to the police and the motorcycle tracked to West Bay in Portmore, after which Brown was arrested.
