A teacher from Hiawa Village, Central Rupununi, Roy Andrew, is sentenced to two years in prison and fined $100,000 for possessing a firearm and ammunition without a licence. The convictions cover possession of a firearm without a licence and possession of ammunition without a licence.
Police say Andrew is arrested on February 2, 2025, at Hiawa Village, Central Rupununi, after which he is charged under the Firearms Act. Kaieteur News reports the sentence and fine, and describes the charges as separate offences for the unlicensed firearm and for the unlicensed ammunition. Guyana Chronicle similarly confirms the same two convictions and identifies the relevant statutory basis in Section 16(2)(a) of the Firearms Act.
Both outlets present the same core facts: Andrew’s occupation as a teacher, the location and date of the arrest, the two firearms-related charges, and the resulting imprisonment term and fine. Neither source indicates additional circumstances beyond the unlicensed possession offences.
