St. John’s, Antigua and Barbuda — Monday, 23 June 2025

Jamall Prince of Seatons has been remanded to His Majesty’s Prison after appearing before the court on Monday, 23 June, to answer charges of unlawful possession of a firearm and possession of ammunition.

The accused pleaded guilty to both charges, and the matter was adjourned to Wednesday, 26 June, when he is expected to reappear in court.

The charges stem from an operation conducted by police on Tuesday, 17 June, in the community of Seatons. During the operation, Prince reportedly fled from a property upon the arrival of police officers. He was pursued, apprehended, and an illegal firearm was subsequently recovered.

He was arrested, taken into custody, and later formally charged in connection with the offences.
