His agreement to take a firearm into safekeeping for an elderly woman has cost a Gemswick, St Philip man $24 000 in fines.

Anthony Sylvester Mayers reappeared in the No. 5 Supreme Court, where Justice Pamela Beckles ordered him to pay the fines for having the unlicensed firearm and ammunition on October 4, 2024.

Justice Beckles said: “Barbados has strict gun laws for a reason as the illegal possession of firearms fuels violence, fear and the loss of life in our own communities. They are capable of causing death and serious injury.”
