Duo gets $300,000 bail each for allegedly tossing cocaine out of moving vehicle

Thirty-nine-year-old Joel Fung-A-Fat of 342 Forshaw Street, Georgetown, and 25-year-old Daquan Wills of 141 Meadow Brook Drive were on Friday granted $300,000 bail each on trafficking in narcotics charges.
They appeared before Magistrate Leron Daly at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts where the charges were read to them.
Both Fung-A-Fat and Wills denied the charge which alleged that on April 20, at Church Street and Vlissengen Road, Georgetown, they had 1.054 kilograms of cocaine in their possession.

Fung-A-Fat was represented by Attorney-at-Law Mark Walrond while Wills was represented by Sion Dhurjon. Both attorneys made successful bail applications. As such, the defendants were released on bail.
As conditions for bail, both defendants were ordered to lodge their passports and to report to the CANU headquarters every week until the conclusion of the matter.
The matter has been adjourned to May 14.
It was reported that on the day in question, CANU ranks were conducting an operation and several targets including a maroon Nissan Juke, PVV 6706, were under surveillance.
However, as CANU ranks attempted to intercept the vehicle, the driver sped away. As such, agents gave chase and the vehicle was eventually intercepted at Lance Gibbs Street and Vlissengen Road, Georgetown.
During the chase, the ranks observed a cocaine brick being tossed from the vehicle which was subsequently retrieved and when weighed amounted to 1.054 kilograms.

Upon their arrest, the two suspects reportedly led CANU ranks to an abandoned range house at Stone Avenue Campbellville, Georgetown, where another brick of cocaine and a bag containing a quantity of cannabis were discovered.
The cocaine which was retrieved at Stone Avenue had amounted to 1.048 kilograms while the cannabis weighed 17.956 kilograms.
The duo and their drugs were escorted to the CANU headquarters.
