A teenager has appeared in court accused of having a firearm and ammunition.

Dahny Simmons-Outerbridge, 18, was charged with having a Smith & Wesson firearm with a 5.5-inch barrel, as well as five rounds of .22 ammunition without a licence, when he appeared in Magistrates’ Court today.

Mr Simmons-Outerbridge, from Warwick, allegedly had the items on Monday.

As the case must be heard in the Supreme Court, Mr Simmons-Outerbridge was not required to enter pleas.

Magistrate Maria Sofianos adjourned the case to the January arraignment session and remanded Mr Simmons-Outerbridge in custody until that time.
