The three persons charged in connection with the discovery of a rusty bullet during a police raid in Black Rock, Portland, earlier this month have each been granted $300,000 bail with one or two sureties in the parish court.
Teina Goffe, Raphael Palmer, and Clement Cookhorn are all charged with unauthorised possession of ammunition.
As part of their bail conditions, they were ordered to report to the Castle Police Station.
They are to return to court on November 18.
The charges stem from an August 3 raid carried out by police at a residence in the Priestman District area of Black Rock.
During a search, the police allegedly found a single, corroded bullet in a glass cup, along with $10 and $20.
The items were located in a cupboard beneath the kitchen sink, which was said to contain other old household items, including worn tools and car parts.
The three were arrested and charged.
Attorneys D’ondre’ Buchanan, Orville Morgan, and John Jacobs are representing Goffe, while Romar Dallas appeared for Palmer and Cookhorn.
