Accused narco-trafficker remanded

A man who was allegedly discovered with 50 grams of narcotics while lingering in front of the Camp Street Prison was on Friday morning remanded to prison by City Magistrate Leron Daly.
Leon Jonas denied that he had the narcotics in his possession on August 29, 2018.
According to the prosecution’s case, Jonas was seen standing across from the prison for a lengthy period, and was as such approached by ranks.
He was later subjected to a search, and a quantity of leaves, seeds and stems were discovered on his person. As such he was taken into Police custody, and the substance was weighed in his presence.
He was later charged with the offence of possession of narcotics for the purpose of trafficking. The case will continue on October 2.
