Accused narco-traffickers on $300,000 bail

A man and a woman were earlier this week remanded to prison for allegedly trafficking 26 grammes of cocaine.
Rohinee Gosai, 59, of Bee Hive, East Coast Demerara (ECD) and 45-year-old Samuel McLeod, called ‘Ginger’, of Golden Grove, ECD appeared before Vigilance Magistrate Fabayo Azore to answer an allegation that they had the illicit drug in their possession on September 20, at Bee Hive, ECD.
They both denied the charge, and were each released on $150,000 bail. The matter continues on November 3.
A statement from the Police detailed that, at around 10:45h on the day in question, a party of Police ranks went to a home at Bee Hive, ECD to arrest a man who was wanted for threatening language.
A man and a woman were seen on the property, and upon the Police ranks approaching them, the man was seen throwing something into the yard. As a result, a search was conducted in the yard, where ranks found a green plastic bag containing two pieces of creamish, hard, rock-like substances suspected to be cocaine.
The narcotic was shown to the duo, but they denied ownership. The woman was arrested and taken to the Cove and John Police Station along with the illicit drugs.
The man, however, escaped, leaving his vehicle behind. He later surrendered at the station and was placed into custody.
Police also weighed the drug in presence of the accused, and it amounted to 26 grammes. (G1)
