AN unemployed 19-year-old was on Thursday remanded to prison by Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan for trafficking cannabis.

Azriah Charles denied that on October 10 at Lot 46, D’Urban Street, Lodge he had eight grams of cannabis in his possession for the purpose of trafficking.

According to the facts, on the day in question, a party of police went to Charles’ home and conducted a search, but apparently came up empty handed. Turns out they found what they were looking for in a yard near where the teen was standing when they apprehended him.

To his credit, according to Police Prosecutor, Arwin Moore, the teen confessed to the police that the drugs belonged to him.

The Magistrate refused the teen bail, and adjourned the matter until November 1.
