On Tuesday, a group of men caused so much ruckus with wild gunfire in the Lake-I area that one media house even reported a murder when there was none.
Well police caught them in a high-speed chase and took them to court today. The accused are 25 year-old BDF Soldier Brendon Cacho and a 16 year-old minor, and tonight, they are at prison.
At 6:30p.m., Police responded to shots being fired on La Croix Boulevard, and when they arrived at corner of Mahogany and Linda Vista Streets, the officers saw a dark blue Toyota Camry without any license plates speeding away from the scene.
The police set chase after the vehicle, which ended up crashing into a fence at #168 Linda Vista Street, and 3 men were seen fleeing from the damaged vehicle. The officers managed to detain 2 of those men: Cacho and the 16 year-old male.
The officers searched both men and found a black 9 mm Austria brand 9X19 pistol, which contained an empty magazine.
It was also discovered that the vehicle which they crashed was reported stolen by Jose Hernandez on October 22.
As a result, both men were charged with keeping an unlicensed firearm and handling stolen goods.
Both men pleaded not guilty to the offences when they were arraigned in Magistrate's Court today. Because it is a firearm offence, they were automatically remanded to prison until November 30.
