A man caught with a gun in his house has admitted in court to handling a firearm and ammunition.

Terry Thomas, 56, of Sound View Road, Sandys, will be sentenced at next month’s arraignments for having the gun, a .38 special Taurus revolver, plus nine rounds of ammunition. He was arrested on April 24, 2013.

Thomas, who initially denied the offences, pleaded guilty yesterday in the Supreme Court before Puisne Judge Carlisle Greaves.
