Cannabis
A Jamaican national was yesterday (June 16) granted $1,500 bail for drug charges when he appeared in a Magistrate’s Court.
Police said Brian Stephens James was charged for for possession of marijuana, cultivating and possession with intent to supply.
James was arrested by Richfond police on Friday, June 2014 during an operation.
Reports are that officers observed James in an “open place” at La Pearle in La Ressource. While searching James they found a small amount of cannabis, as well as a scissors and “bits and pieces” of marijuana in his nearby surroundings. This prompted the officers to search his house where they found more of the illegal drug.
The total value of the drug confiscated is $400.
Police sources say the Jamaican is also being investigated by the Immigration Department for overstaying.
