A 28-year-old man with no fixed address has been remanded to Dodds Prison until next month after being charged with use of a firearm and aggravated burglary.

The offences are alleged to have taken place on January 14.

The case was transferred to the No. 1 District ‘A’ Magistrates’ Court, where Frederick will reappear on March 23.

Defence counsel Justin Leacock represents the accused.
