A Watford woman and a Rickmansworth man are set to appear in crown court over gun and drugs-related charges.

Jaclyne Padruth, of Humberstone Close, Watford, and Brandon Nasir, of Watford Road, Rickmansworth, appeared in Hatfield Magistrates’ Court on April 28 and are set to appear for trial at Southwark Crown Court on May 26.

Both are charged with class A and class B drug possession with intent to supply, as well as attempting to possess a firearm with a barrel of less than 30cm and ammunition for a firearm without a certificate.

The pair had allegedly tried to get a Colt .38 revolver and 50 rounds of hollow point calibre bullet cartridges and had cocaine and cannabis.

The alleged crimes took place in Hertfordshire on April 26.

Padruth, 45, was granted bail with conditions while Nasir, 20, was remanded into custody ahead of their court appearance later this month.
