A FOURTEEN-year-old student of the Anna Regina Multilateral Secondary School (ARMS) was caught by his head teacher with a gramme of cannabis in his possession.
According to information reaching the Guyana Chronicle, the headmaster of the Region Two (Pomeroon-Supenaam) school, Mr Lalljeet Ruplall reported to police that he found a student with narcotics on him.

The search was conducted on the Grade Nine student on Wednesday morning, when one small, green transparent Ziploc plastic bag containing a quantity of leaves, seeds and stems suspected to be cannabis was found in the inner compartment of his schoolbag.
The child denied having knowledge of how the ‘weed’ came to be in his bag, and as such both his mother and the police were called in.

The police weighed the substance in the presence of the child’s mother and the head teacher, and found that it amounted to one gramme.
Police are currently investigating the matter, while the teenager was handed over to his parents.
