A Sandys man was remanded into custody after being accused of two firearms-related offences.

Josef Ferreira, 19, was charged in Magistrates’ Court with discharging bullets from a firearm on May 24.

He was also charged with conspiring with others to import a firearm to Bermuda without a valid licence between an unknown date and June 3.

He was not required to enter a plea, as the matters must be heard in the Supreme Court.

Mr Ferreira is expected to next appear during the Supreme Court arraignments session on October 5.
