Two Men Charged with Unlawful Possession of Cannabis in Separate Incidents
Police have charged two men with unlawful possession of cannabis following targeted patrol operations conducted in separate areas across the island this week.
In the first incident, 32-year-old Roshawn Elliott of Potters Village was found with 1.1 pounds of cannabis during a police operation in Potters on December 31, 2025. He was taken into custody and subsequently charged.
In a separate case, 48-year-old Terrance “Funk” Roberts of Federation Road, Grays Farm, was charged after officers reportedly found him in possession of 267.8 grams of cannabis along Fort Road on December 30, 2025.
Both men are expected to appear before the court to answer to the charges.
The Royal Police Force of Antigua and Barbuda says it will continue its intensified enforcement efforts to curb criminal activity through strategic patrols across the country. Residents are being urged to assist law enforcement by reporting any suspicious behaviours to the nearest police station.
