Raul Khouri, Montego Bay Policeman

Raul Khouri, the Montego Bay cop who was recently arrested in connection with the seizure of three illegal firearms, has been charged by the police with illegal possession of firearms.
The disclosure was made Wednesday in the Half-Way-Tree Resident Magistrate's Court by an investigating officer, who was last week instructed by senior RM Sharon George to have the accused charged or released following a habeas corpus application filed on his behalf.
The matter was then scheduled for January 7, when Khouri - who is a member of the Montego Bay Flying Squad - will appear in the Montego Bay Gun Court.
Thirty-one-year-old Khouri and two other men were held by the police on Sunday, December 16 after three illegal guns and several rounds of ammunition were allegedly found in a car in which they were travelling.
According to the Constabulary Communication Network (CCN), the weapons and ammunition were seized at about 2:30 am during a joint police/military operation in Bogue Village.
The police said a Toyota Camry motor car with the three men aboard was stopped and following a search of the vehicle, three guns - a Smith and Wesson .40 pistol, with serial number PAK9173; a .38 revolver, serial number C58273; and a homemade handgun - were allegedly found.
The police further alleged that six magazines, 15 rounds of 9mm ammunition and three .38 rounds were also recovered during the search. All three men were subsequently detained.
It was not immediately clear whether the other two men held in connection with the incident have also been charged
