Sep 08, 2012 News

 

A woman who was caught with a quantity of cannabis concealed in three ‘Pringle’ tins was yesterday refused bail after she faced Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine-Beharry (ag) yesterday on a charge of possession of narcotics for the purpose of trafficking.
Reports are that on September 5, Nicola Abrams, a mother of one and a resident of Seafield, Leonora, West Coast Demerara, had in her possession 25 grams of marijuana secreted in three Pringle tins while at the Timehri prison. Abrams pleaded not guilty to the charge.
Attorney -At -Law Paul Fung -A -Fat represented Abrams in the case. The lawyer requested bail for the defendant and argued that his client collected the bag which contained the narcotics from one of her husband’s relatives.
Fung-A-Fat affirmed that the narcotics did not belong to his client.
However Police prosecutor Evelyn Sampson recommended that Abrams be remanded to prison since on the day of the incident, the defendant was visiting her reputed husband who is incarcerated at the Timehri prison. The prosecutor said that the woman took a bag with items for the inmate.
A routine search was carried out on the bag and a quantity of leaves seeds and stems suspected to be cannabis was discovered hidden in  three separate Pringle tins.  Abrams was later cautioned and told of the offence before being arrested and charged.
