A BOURDA Market vendor was remanded to prison by City Magistrate, Leron Daly on a drug trafficking charge on Friday.

It is alleged that Kellon Albert on May 5, 2017 at Bourda Market, Georgetown, had seven grams of cocaine in his possession for the purpose of trafficking.

Albert denied the charge while his attorney, Adrian Thompson made an application for bail and stated that his client had no knowledge of the drug.

Police Prosecutor, Inspector Bharrat Mangru told the court that the cocaine was found on defendant when he was searched by the police. The prosecutor objected to bail being granted based on the nature, gravity and prevalence of the offence. \

Bail was denied and he will return to court on June 2, 2017.
