A search of the boat was conducted and twenty-four parcels of Cannabis Sativa were found. The men were taken into custody, along with the substance and boat. The substance was weighed and tested, and found to be 46,980 grams of the illegal substance.
They appeared last Friday before Magistrate Peter Hugh in the New Amsterdam Magistrates Court where they pleaded guilty and were sentenced and fined.
