One man was grant­ed bail and an­oth­er re­mand­ed in­to cus­tody by a Cou­va Mag­is­trate yes­ter­day, when they ap­peared in court charged with two counts of shoot­ing with in­tent and firearm pos­ses­sion.

CASEY DE SIL­VA, 23, and JADEN DE SIL­VA, 22, both of Or­chid Gar­dens, Pleas­antville, were al­so charged with pos­ses­sion of am­mu­ni­tion, pos­ses­sion of firearm to en­dan­ger life and pos­ses­sion of am­mu­ni­tion to en­dan­ger life, when they ap­peared in the Cou­va Mag­is­trates’ Court on Thurs­day 2nd June, 2022.

Casey De Sil­va was re­mand­ed in­to cus­tody, while Jaden De Sil­va was grant­ed bail in the sum of $250,000. He al­so has to re­port to a po­lice sta­tion twice a week be­tween the hours of 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. The mat­ter was ad­journed to June 30th, 2022.

The men were ar­rest­ed fol­low­ing a po­lice-in­volved shoot­ing in­ci­dent in the Cou­va dis­trict on May 26th, 2022. A third sus­pect was wound­ed dur­ing the in­ci­dent and had to be tak­en to hos­pi­tal for treat­ment. A pis­tol loaded with a mag­a­zine con­tain­ing eight rounds of am­mu­ni­tion was re­cov­ered from the scene.

Mean­while, of­fi­cers of the In­ter-Agency Task Force dis­cov­ered a pis­tol and quan­ti­ties of am­mu­ni­tion dur­ing an an­ti-crime ex­er­cise con­duct­ed in the Besson Street, Bel­mont and Arou­ca dis­tricts ear­ly yes­ter­day morn­ing.

Dur­ing the ex­er­cise, of­fi­cers ex­e­cut­ed a search war­rant at the Arou­ca home of a 39-year-old man. The search re­sult­ed in the firearm loaded with a mag­a­zine con­tain­ing 15 rounds of am­mu­ni­tion, an­oth­er mag­a­zine con­tain­ing 17 rounds of am­mu­ni­tion and a box of am­mu­ni­tion con­tain­ing 10 rounds of

am­mu­ni­tion be­ing dis­cov­ered in the house.

The sus­pect who was on the premis­es at the time of the ex­er­cise was ar­rest­ed in con­nec­tion with the find.

In­ves­ti­ga­tions are on­go­ing.

The ex­er­cise was spear­head­ed by W/ACP Jack­man, co­or­di­nat­ed by Snr. Supt. Subero and su­per­vised by ASPs Rame­sar and Cuffy.
