Miner nabbed with over 3700g ganja

A 30-year-old miner and resident of Half Mile Wismar, Linden was arrested at Mackenzie on Monday by ranks of a Police anti-crime patrol after he was found with 3761.7 grams of marijuana in his possession.
The ranks were said to be on patrol in the vicinity of the Watooka Main Road in Linden at about 11:30h on Monday when they saw the miner with a burgundy and black haversack. He was at the time riding a black and white Honda XR motorcycle with registration # CJ 3062, and was leaving the Coomacka mines and heading in a northerly direction.
The ranks said they suspected he was carrying something illegal, due to his demeanor when he saw the Police, so
they attempted to intercept him, but he jumped off the motorcycle and ran through some nearby bushes. The ranks gave chase, and managed to apprehend him along with the haversack.
A search was conducted on his person, but nothing illegal was found. The haversack was then searched, and the ranks found two compressed, bulky parcels containing leaves, seeds, and stems suspected to be cannabis sativa.
The suspect was told of the offence committed and cautioned. He responded by saying: “Boss, is me weed. I just buy it fuh $100,000 to carry and hussle in de backdam”.
The suspect was arrested and escorted to the Mackenzie Police Station along with the suspected cannabis sativa. There it was weighed in his presence, and amounted to 3761.7 grams.
He is in custody pending investigations and charges. (G9)
