Reuben Forde has been remanded to His Majesty’s Prison after pleading guilty to firearm and ammunition offences before the All Saints Magistrate’s Court.

Forde appeared before Chief Magistrate Ngaio Emanuel on Monday, November 9, charged with the unlawful possession of one Taurus G3 9mm pistol and ten 9mm rounds of ammunition. He pleaded guilty to both charges. The prosecution accepted the pleas and he was remanded to prison until November 17, 2026.

The charges arose from a police operation conducted in the Ottos area on Friday, November 6. At approximately 9:00 a.m.

Officers attached to the Criminal Investigations Department Task Force stopped and searched a white Lexus motor vehicle driven by Forde and seized a 9mm Taurus pistol with a matching magazine containing ten rounds of ammunition.
