A minibus conductor of Victoria, East Coast Demerara and a businessman from East Ruimveldt, Georgetown were yesterday remanded to prison, after they appeared before Magistrate Fabayo Azore on separate drug related charges.
The defendants, Eucland Frank, 26 and Jason Cummings, 31, were allegedly found in possession of 2.5 grammes of cocaine and one gram of Ecstasy tablets, respectively.
Both defendants pleaded not guilty to the charges
According to the allegations, on Monday at Hadfield Street Georgetown, Frank was found with the cocaine tucked in the waist of his pants during a search, which was conducted by the police on mobile patrol.
The police allegedly found the prohibited drug in Cummings’ pants pocket, while he was in the vicinity of East Ruimveldt, Georgetown, on Saturday.
Both men were represented by Attorney-at-Law, Paul Fung-A-Fat, who requested bail on the grounds that the drugs were not found on his clients or in their possession.
Fung-A-Fat contended that the drug said to be Frank’s were found in a yard on Hadfield Street.
In regards to Cummings, the lawyer argued that the drug was found in a taxi in which there were three other persons.
However, Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Deneshwer Mahendranaught, objected to bail on the grounds that no special reason was given to the court for Frank to be placed on bail.
The Assistant Superintendent of Police also argued that Cummings along with others were in a taxi when it was stopped at a roadblock, and a search was carried out on the occupants of the car. The Ecstasy tablets were found in his pants pocket.
Bail was refused for both defendants who will now return to Court on June 12.
