Magistrates Court, Union Street, St Helier.. Picture: ROB CURRIE. (34833995)

A PENSIONER who kept three firearms in his home without licences for them – and told the police – has been bound over to be of good behaviour for 12 months.

Anthony Journeaux (74) had a blank-firing revolver adapted to fire noxious gas and two other guns in his home, and did not possess certificates for any of them.

But he said he had informed the police about them.

He was sentenced at the Magistrate’s Court this week. Assistant Magistrate Peter Harris said: ‘There was no suggestion that you used them or threatened to use them.’

He also ordered that the three firearms be destroyed.
