Kaieteur News – Shemroy Robertson, called “Minutes” was found guilty last Friday of aiding the commission of trafficking cannabis.
Robertson appeared before Senior Magistrate Fabayo Azore at the Vigilance Magistrates’ Court where he was sentenced to two years imprisonment and fined $30,000 for aiding the commission of trafficking 1.174 kilograms of cannabis.
According to the Customs Anti Narcotic Unit (CANU), the conviction stemmed from an operation conducted on June 17, 2021, during which officers intercepted a minibus at Ann’s Grove Public Road, East Coast Demerara (ECD), and arrested a suspect with the said quantity of cannabis.
Robertson was subsequently arrested in relation to the operation on June 28, 2021. He was also previously arrested and charged on January 15, 2016, along with one other suspect, for possession of 1.156 kilograms of cocaine.
The suspect was released, while Robertson was ordered to stand trial in the high court; however, he was granted $600,000 bail, which is still pending. Additionally, he was previously arrested and charged along with three others on March 6, 2017. However, the charges against him were dropped.
