KINGSTON, Jamaica— Two foreign nationals are among four people who have been charged with possession of prohibited weapon and unauthorised possession of ammunition after a firearm was seized during a traffic stop on Princess Street in downtown Kingston on Wednesday.

Charged are:

• twenty-two-year-old Antuan Latchman of Woodville Road, London in the United Kingdom;
• thirty-four-year-old Javid Johnson, a medical doctor of Mount Vernon, New York in the United States of America;
• thirty-seven-year-old Shaday Rampassard, a nurse of Mount Royal Estate, Bridgeport in St Catherine; and
• twenty-six-year-old Akeem Sang, a higgler of Congreve Park, Bridgeport in St Catherine.

Reports from the Denham Town police are that about 11:35 pm, the four people were travelling in a Suzuki Swift motor car when a police team detected a breach of the Road Traffic Act and intercepted the motor car.

While interviewing the driver of the motor car, the police said they observed a firearm in a handbag inside the motor vehicle.

The firearm was taken from the handbag and upon inspection, it was observed to be a Glock 19 pistol with a magazine affixed containing 11 9mm rounds of ammunition, police said.

The four people were taken into custody and were later charged.

Their court dates are being finalised.
