Since school children are becoming violent at school these days, the teachers at a Linden secondary school have been carrying out classroom searches. During one such search they found marijuana in the school bag of a third form student.
The police were immediately called in and identified the substance as cannabis which weighed 28 grams.
The student a 15-year-old male, of Lower Kara Kara, Linden, was taken into custody for questioning.
He told police at the Mackenzie Police Station that one of his cousins, who is a former student of the said school had given him the substance to sell.
The student said that this was the first time that he brought the substance to school.
His parents were contacted and said they are very surprised at this. Police could not locate the cousin.
A senior Schools’ Welfare Officer, Yolanda James, was making her monthly visit to the school at the time the incident took place.
The schoolboy remains in custody and is expected to face court as early as today as investigations continue.
