Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan, on Friday, August 30, 2019, remanded a man for trafficking 43 kilograms of cannabis.

Jason Dundas appeared at the Georgetown Magistrates’ court and pleaded not guilty to the charge when it was read to him.

Particulars of the charge stated that, on August 27, 2019, at Cornhill Street, Georgetown, he had in his possession 43.772 kilograms of cannabis for the purpose of trafficking.

Police prosecutor Gordon Mansfield objected to bail being granted to Dundas and told the court that, on the day in question ranks received information and went to the area mentioned above where they made contact with Dundas at a stall.

The ranks asked Dundas if the stall belonged to him and he said yes. The ranks sought permission to conduct a search and Dundas made no objection. The search unearthed several parcels of leaves, seeds and stems that were suspected to be drugs. Dundas admitted ownership. He was arrested and later charged.

Magistrate McLennan refused bail and remanded Dundas to prison until September 25, 2019.
