The Firearm Licensing Authority (FLA) has revoked the gun licence of the man who pulled his weapon inside the Half Way Tree branch of the National Commercial Bank (NCB), causing panic among customers.
Captain Cleveland Crooks, Director of Compliance and Enforcement at the FLA, said the man was called in by the agency on Thursday and the revocaton order served.
He said the action was taken after the FLA investigated the incident which took place at the bank last month.
“Five individuals who were affected gave statements. We viewed video footage and a file was prepared, submitted to the CEO for his review and he submitted to the board. The board reviewed all the necessaries and they have made a decision…to revoke the licence bearing in mind what was seen,” he said.
The FLA started its investigation after the Half Way Tree Police decided not to press charges against the man, instead referring the matter to the authority.
