Man jailed for two grammes of coke

Moze appeared before magistrate Brambhanan Dubay yesterday in the San Fernando Sixth Court where he pleaded guilty to possession of two grammes of cocaine. Court prosecutor Sgt Gordon Maharaj told the court that PC Meah, of the Southern Division Task Force, charged him after finding the illegal narcotic.

PC Meah and other officers were on mobile patrol on Monday along Charles Street, La Romaine, when they saw Moze walking along the road. They searched him and found the cocaine.

Yesterday, the prosecutor noted that Moze had three previous convictions of a similar nature for possession of illegal narcotics namely marijuana and cocaine.

All three previous offences took place last year.

The magistrate sentenced Moze to 18 months hard labour
