Alleged drug trafficker granted $100,000 bail

An alleged drug trafficking was granted $100,000 bail following his third appearance at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts on Monday.
Rollex Roberts Harry also known as “Anthony Roberts”, a 54-year-old taxi driver of Toucan Drive, South Ruimveldt, Georgetown, appeared before Magistrate Rhondell Weever.
Attorney-at-Law Adrian Thompson, Harry’s attorney, submitted a new bail request on the accused’s behalf, and the Magistrate approved it on Monday.
This defendant must report to the Brickdam Police Station every other Friday starting on December 22. If he does not follow through, his bail will be revoked.
According to the allegation, on October 29, 2023, he had in his possession 571 grams of cannabis, 86 grams of hashish, two grams of ecstasy, and six grams of methamphetamine for the purpose of trafficking. Harry has pleaded not guilty to the offence.
Harry was apprehended by the Police between Lombard and Princes Streets in Georgetown, where he was found in possession of the drugs in his bag, according to the prosecution.
Due to the seriousness of the offence, the penalty it attracts, and the fact that the accused had admitted to the crime, the Police prosecutor had first opposed the accused being granted bail.
