Court delays proceedings in 62-pound cannabis importation case
Police have arrested and jointly charged two men in connection with a major drug seizure at the Deep Water Harbour earlier this month.

Two men charged in connection with a major cannabis seizure worth $372,000 appeared before Magistrate Dexter Wason this morning.

Nadeem Brandon Doumith of Crosbies was granted bail set at $300,000 with cash set at $20,000 surety. As conditions of his release, Doumith must surrender his passport and report to a police station three times weekly.

His co-accused, Jamaican national Francis Young, was remanded to prison. Young, who has another outstanding matter,  was denied bail and will remain in custody pending the next court appearance.

    Well Young is obviously a flight risk, but the serian should have been remanded too. He could well have another passport we don’t know about.
