The three market constables who were among four persons remanded to jail by Magistrate Adela Nagamootoo when they appeared before her at the New Amsterdam Magistrate’s court on a joint charge of possession of narcotics for the purpose of trafficking, have been granted bail.
The bail came when they made their second court appearance before her at the New Amsterdam court. The other accused was granted bail earlier following an application to the High Court.
The trio, Dwayne Casey, 25, a Lance Corporal of Golden Fleece, West Coast Berbice; Sherry Burnett, 48, of 38 Stanleytown; and Natasha Cooke of New Amsterdam, all constables attached to the New Amsterdam municipality market, were asked to post $300,000 each.
The number one accused Juel Cush, 45, called “Yellow” or “Rastaman”, of 61 Clifton, Corentyne, Berbice, and a vendor of Pitt Street New Amsterdam, was earlier granted bail in the same sum in the High Court.
In court, lawyers for the three remaining accused Joel Edmond, Kim Kyte John, and Rabindranauth Singh, had argued for bail for their clients. Especially since the number one accused was granted bail in the High Court.
The court case is that on December 21, at Pitt Street, New Amsterdam, the quartet had in their possession 360 grams of marijuana. Police got word of an alleged scheme involving drug dealers and members of the market constabulary. They secreted themselves after conducting surveillance and nabbed the four.
The matter will be called again on February 19, next.
