While in the process of urinating, she pulled out a while plastic bag from under her garments and was seen throwing it over a fence some three feet away from where a police rank was in the process of cordoning off the premises.
The bag with the item was retrieved, and a quantity of leaves, seeds and stems suspected to be cannabis was unearthed. The woman was told of the offence committed, cautioned and arrested. She will make her next court appearance on June 8.
