Berbice man remanded on ganja trafficking charge

The man who was reportedly caught with 27.2 kilograms of compressed marijuana was on Friday remanded to prison.
Dean Grenville, 27, of Lot 60 Stanleytown, New Amsterdam, is alleged to have had 27.2 kg of compressed marijuana on April 3, for the purpose of trafficking.
Grenville appeared at the Albion Magistrate’s Court and denied the charge.
He was represented by Attorney Charlyn Artiga.

The prosecution is contending that Police acting on information went to the Stanleytown house, where they swooped down on the suspect’s two-story East Bank Berbice residence at about 11:15h and conducted a search of his presence.
According to Police, 16 taped parcels of compressed cannabis were found. The Stanleytown resident who was arrested has been on the Police’s radar for “quite a while” Police said.
Magistrate Renita Singh remanded Grenville to prison and the case will continue on April 15.
