Repeat offender jailed

Twenty-seven-year-old Avinash Insanally of Diamond Housing Scheme, East Bank Demerara, was on Tuesday slapped with a three-year jail term for two counts of narcotics possession.

Magistrate Annette Singh found Insanally guilty of the charge which stated that he had in his possession two grams of cocaine and three grams of marijuana after he was arrested by Police in Grove, East Bank Demerara on February 3, 2017.

At the time the drugs were found in his possession, he was under arrest on an attempt to break and enter charge. Earlier this month Insanally was sentenced to 18 months behind bars after Magistrate Leron Daly found him guilty of an attempted break and enter charge.

Insanally has pending matters of similar nature before other courts.
