MANDONA Fraser, 28, of Danielstown Village, Essequibo Coast was on Thursday slapped with a charge for the possession of narcotics for the purpose of trafficking.
She made her first appearance before Essequibo Magistrate Esther Sam on Thursday at the Suddie Magistrate’s Court.

Her sister-in law, however, was not charged. It is alleged that on January, 7, 2019, between 16:40 and 17:22 hours, police conducted a search on her house and found “Amen” powder in her western bedroom.

Upon checking the bottle, it was observed that it contained a blue and white female underwear. The underwear was removed and several small wrapped silver foils containing a hard rock-like substance suspected to be cocaine, were found.

The 73 packets were weighed and amounted to 23 grams. The woman pleaded not guilty to the charge and was granted $15,000 bail.
