A Corentyne Belvedere man who was arrested on an allegation of Simple Larceny was yesterday jailed for three years on charges of Possession of Cocaine and Possession of Smoking Utensil after he pleaded guilty.
The accused, Arvin Mohan, called ‘Wear’ of Belvedere, Corentyne, was arrested on Friday by members of the Community Policing Group in the area on allegation of Simple Larceny and taken to the Albion Police station.
While at the station a search was conducted on the accused and a plastic bag in a Brown paper bag with a whitish substance was found concealed on his person. The item was retrieved and when tested and weighed was found to be two grams of cocaine.
Further checks on the accused unearthed an improvised Metal pipe which is suspected to be used for the smoking of Cocaine.
He was told of the offences and subsequently charged. In court he pleaded guilty to both charges and begged the magistrate for just a ‘small sentence’. He was subsequently sentenced to a total of four years in jail –three years on the Possession of narcotics charge and one year for the possession of smoking Utensil. The sentences will run concurrently.
