Jul 06, 2013 News

 

 

A 54-year old Albouystown resident was yesterday remanded after the charge of possession of narcotics for the purpose of trafficking was read to him at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court.
The charge read to Ronald Satamby by Chief Magistrate Priya Beharry stated that on June 26, at 32 Callendar Street, Albouystown, the defendant had in his possession 6.9 kilograms of cannabis for the purpose of trafficking.
The father of two pleaded not guilty to the allegation.
Officers attached to the narcotics unit, acted on information and conducted a search on a building with a shop and several rented apartments. In one of the rooms cannabis was found.
The officers also found the defendant’s birth certificate, rent receipts and pictures of him in the room. The defendant was then arrested, cautioned and charged.
The ganja was then taken to the station where it was weighed and amounted to 6 kilograms 860 grams of cannabis.
Representing Satamby was Attorney at Law, Peter Hugh, who stated that his client resides at 90 James Street, Albouystown and not where the ganja was found. The lawyer added that his client was simply purchasing an alcoholic beverage from a shop located at the premises of the building.
Prosecutor Vernette Pindar objected to the defendant being granted bail on the grounds that he had served three years on a possession of narcotic charge and added that no special reasons were presented by the Lawyer for bail to be considered.
Bail was subsequently refused. Satamby is expected to return to court on July 16.
