Tomica and Travis Pilgrim ages 36 and 29, respectively, were arraigned before Magistrate Zamilla Ally-Seepaul in the Sparendaam Magistrate’s Court, where they pleaded not guilty to having 43.936kg of cannabis sativa (marijuana) in their possession for the purpose of trafficking.
Police in a release stated that acting on information, they went to the Second Street, Turkeyen apartment on November 11, and conducted a search, during which 26 taped parcels in a bag were unearthed in a plastic barrel in a room.
The parcels were probed and the compressed marijuana was discovered.
They were both represented by Attorney Adrian Thompson, who told the court that there are several houses in Tomica Pilgrim’s yard at Lot 9 Turkeyen, ECD.
According to Thompson, police arrested the woman after finding the drugs at a house next door to her home.
However, Police Prosecutor Hattie Anthony said that both defendants were in the house stated in the prosecution’s facts, when police found the drug.
