West Bay man admits having sub-machine gun
(CNS): Mitchell Chean Ebanks (56) from West Bay pleaded guilty on Friday to the possession of a sub-machine gun, high-capacity magazine and 29 rounds of ammunition. When Ebanks appeared in Grand Court Friday via video link, he admitted having a prohibited 9mm Luger Glock 17 handgun fitted with an automatic sear and a high-capacity extended magazine when police raided his home in Rennie Ebanks Road in May.
Ebanks is due to be sentenced on 25 October. Because he was charged under the Firearms Act before recent changes to the law were implemented, he is facing a minimum seven-year term. The Fire Arms Amendment Bill (2024) raised the minimum term to ten years with an admission of guilt.
A woman who was arrested at the same time as Ebanks has not been charged in relation to the firearm.

false! would fall under a machine pistol at most. its simply a glock with a modified mag.
if I put 35 inch rims on my honda civic does that make it a truck ?
He is a drug addict, obviously holding it for someone else.
I have no sympathy for anyone caught with a gun, so I will not advocate for any reduced sentence for him.
The main reason for my posting here is another court case that I cannot find on CNS, and that was the bartender coming into Cayman who was caught and fined for bringing in lots of drugs. Did she get to keep her job and continue with her side hustle? I never saw any mention of a deportation order.
For future reference, it is a submachine gun.
The way this Glock was refitted with an altered sear, and therefore fits the classic definition of a submachine gun — that is a magazine-fed automatic carbine designed to fire handgun cartridges.
