TWO MEN CHARGED WITH UNLAWFUL POSSESSION OF FIREARM & AMMUNITION
St. John’s, Antigua and Barbuda — Monday, 23 June 2025
The police have arrested and jointly charged 23-year-old Taren Weston of Yorks and 25-year-old Malique Challenger of Potters for unlawful possession of a firearm and ammunition.
On Saturday, 21 June, police officers executed a search warrant at a property in Yorks, where both accused were present. During the search, the officers discovered one (1) .45mm Remington pistol, along with seven (7) rounds of matching ammunition and a quantity of camouflage clothing.
The two men were arrested and taken into custody. They have since been formally charged and are expected to appear before the court sometime this week.

Me glad police still cracking down—guns have no place on our streets.
Two charged? That’s a good start, but where dem get de weapons?
Illegal firearm fetched from Grays Farm—big up the stop-and-search crews.
Routine operation? Good—proactive policing works.
Me just wondering—follow de trail. Who supply these weapons?
Police have seized 47 guns this year already—keep pushin’.
New Day, Another Gun Charge.
