Yorks Man Jailed Over WWII-Era Firearm and Ammunition
A 25-year-old man from Yorks has been sentenced to prison after police discovered a World War II-era firearm and ammunition during a raid at his home.
Malique Challenger was handed a three-year and eight-month sentence at His Majesty’s Prison following his admission of possessing a .45 Remington pistol and seven rounds of ammunition, three of which were hollow-point bullets.
The discovery was made on 21 June 2025, when police executed a search warrant at Challenger’s residence and found the weapon and ammunition concealed in the kitchen.
The court described the firearm as dangerous and noted the severity of the hollow-point rounds, which are designed to cause maximum injury.
Challenger also received an additional 12-month sentence for the ammunition offence, to run concurrently.

Oh gosh jack, please stop the concurrent sentencing when they are caught with illegal guns and ammunition, the word consecutively not in the vocabulary any more.
Why someone still holding onto a WWII gun?
A relic from the past turned into a jail sentence—this shows no excuses.
WWII-era gun or not, it had no place being around civilians.
Well done to the police for uncovering this
They say it’s historic
Correction! You meant World War 1 era firearm…That right there is a Remington 1911 R1 45 Pistol…..
Malique is long time u forcing yourself to be a badman since up Johnson U ah watch man and try be like man….U na realize badness nar get ppl anywhere…Ah jus set back in life….When u come out get yourself together my youth…U jus wanna be like all kinda negative people….Just be yourself and tap follow people….
To everyone thinking it is actually a gun made back then no you are wrong…It was first manufactured back then but they are still making that style of firearm so it most likely is not an antique gun….An actual 1911 version would be worth a fortune
There seem to be no slowing down of people being caught and jailed for possession of illegal firearms. The frequency at which this is happening, as well as the number of holdups being reported and shots being fired in communities, it would suggest that there is an abundance of illegal firearms out there. Whether they are coming in through the ports or though our many rugged and porous shorelines, our prison, already saturated and bursting at seam, cannot accommodate the monthly influx that we are now witnessing. We must find a way of curbing the influx of guns into the country. In addition, all the illegal weapons out there are not necessarily being used for nefarious reasons. Many persons have become scared, worried and fearful at the recent crime trends and believe that they have a responsibility and a right to protect themselves as well. Many bona-fide business people in this country have illegal firearms some of which are stolen by bandits but they are too afraid to report it given that they do not have a license to own andcarry it. The illegal gun trend seems to be getting worse by the day and we are not winning the battle.
Mr Pompey what would you recommend?
They are now being exposed and caught that’s all. Prayers are working. God has bowed down His ear to out prayers. He will not let is be ashamed just know it’s God working
Please do not ask Pompey, his all caps nonsense is confusing to read most people are fed up of his jig saw puzzle
