Elderly tourist in court after bullet found in bag at airport
A 79-year-old American visitor who admitted accidentally bringing a bullet into the islands escaped a criminal conviction on Monday, after a magistrate delivered a no-conviction-recorded verdict.
The tourist, whom the Compass is not naming because no conviction was recorded, was preparing to board a return flight to the US when the bullet was found in his carry-on bag as he went through security at the Owen Roberts International Airport on Thursday, 5 June.
The man pleaded guilty in Summary Court on Monday to one count of possession of a firearm (ammunition).
The court heard that he had been on holiday in Cayman, which he had visited many times, with several members of his family.
