Following a police investigation into a single-vehicle car accident where two firearms were discovered, three accused were charged with multiple firearms-related offences and breaches of court orders.
At the preliminary inquiry, the Crown presented evidence of a dark gray Mazda 3 that crashed while traveling at excessive speed.
Three males exited the vehicle and fled the scene.
Two of the males were apprehended shortly thereafter near a ravine.
The court examined whether there was sufficient evidence to commit the accused to trial on the basis of identity and possession of the firearms.
The court found sufficient circumstantial evidence to commit Williamson and Malcolm-Evans to trial on multiple counts, but discharged Lyttle due to insufficient evidence of his presence in the vehicle.
