A 41-year-old housewife, Bhagmattie Roopnarine, of Angoy’s Avenue, New Amsterdam, and her 17-year-old son, a labourer at a sawmill in New Amsterdam, were charged with being in possession of 28 grams of Marijuana for the purpose of trafficking.
The duo appeared before Magistrate Adela Nagamootoo at the New Amsterdam Magistrate’s Court and was refused bail. The son is to remain in the custody of the police due to his age.
