A magistrate in Arima on Monday granted bail totalling $1.6 million to four persons charged in connection with the discovery of illegal arms and ammunition at a house in Arima over the weekend.

The four are related to Pennelope Beckles-Robinson, the PNM candidate challenging Keith Rowley for the leadership of the party.

They four are: Lincoln Beckles, 54; his wife Janice; their son Brandon, 26; and Lincoln Beckles’ brother-in-law, Wayne Farrell, 52.
 
They are charged with the illegal possession of four high-powered firearms and 12 rounds of ammunition, including an AK-47 rifle. They were not asked to enter a plea. The state did not object to bail and the magistrate adjourned the matter to April 16.
