The men and the items were taken to the Reliance Police Station where the items were tested, weighed and found to be 1,616 grams of Cannabis Sativa. He was charged and subsequently found guilty.
Ramkissoon has been in and out of prison since he was a teen. He has been charged before for break and enter, robbery, larceny, burglary, possession of narcotics, escaping from lawful custody and other misdemeanor.
He was once a part of a gang that created havoc in the Canje area. He was in company with the leader when the man was shot dead. He was wanted by the police who had hunted him down but had escaped the police dragnet.
He subsequently surrendered in company with a lawyer back then, after the police closed in on him.
