Four men who were nabbed by police on three separate occasions after they were found in possession of various quantities of marijuana were all remanded to jail by Magistrate Adela Nagamootoo, yesterday, when they appeared before her at the New Amsterdam Magistrate’s Court and pleaded not guilty to the charges of possession of narcotics for the purpose of trafficking.
One charge stated that on Tuesday  last (March 26) at around 10:00 hrs, a police mobile patrol in the Angoy’s Avenue, New Amsterdam area spotted Gibran Ally, 29, of the same area ,who was walking on a dam with a bag in his hand. Upon seeing the police, the man started to run. After a lively chase he was captured and the contents of the bag checked, and what appeared to be leaves, seeds and stems of the marijuana plant were found inside. He was arrested and taken to the station where the contents were weighed and tested and found to be 1kg 150grams of the marijuana plant. He was subsequently charged.
Meanwhile, on Wednesday (Phagwah Day) at 07:00 hrs, the police conducted a raid on a house at Victoria Street Cumberland, East Canje, and nabbed two men, Samuel Singh called ‘Andy’ 21 and Andrew David Harrichan, 20, who were inside the house, with 1 kg 240 grams of leaves, seeds and stems of the marijuana plant. The drugs were allegedly found in a five-gallon bucket in the house. The two men were arrested and taken to the station where they were charged.
And  yesterday morning, at around 06:30 hrs, the police were again on mobile patrol in the Cumberland, East Canje area when they noticed Clive Thomas, 57, of Springlands, Corriverton, Berbice, walking on the road. He was challenged, stopped and searched and what again appeared to be cannabis leaves, seeds and stems were found in a bag he was carrying. He was arrested and the contents turned out to be 1kg 600 grams of cannabis sativa.
All the accused were remanded to jail. Ally will return to court on May 14 for the continuation of his matter while Singh, Harrichan and Thomas had their matters transferred to the Reliance Magistrate’s Court where they will appear on May 15.
