A Bermudian man living in the United States was charged with three counts of importation of firearms components yesterday.

James Rumley, 37, appeared in Magistrates’ Court.

He did not enter a plea because the case must be heard in the Supreme Court.

One offence is alleged to have happened on June 3 and the other two on October 14.

Magistrate Maxanne Anderson remanded Rumley in custody and adjourned the case until the December Supreme Court arraignments session.
