Police said three men, including Grenadians, have been charged with drug-related offenses, but two of them have pleaded not guilty.
In a May 13 press release, the Royal St. Vincent and the Grenadines Police Force said they arrested and charged Romario McDonald, a 79-year-old fisherman, Raheem Rougier, a 19-year-old labourer, both from Grenada, and Vincent Edwards, a 43-year-old fisherman of Grenada/Petit Bordel, in connection with drug trafficking offenses.
“The accused are charged with possession of thirteen thousand, six hundred and twenty (13,620) grams of Cannabis. They are alleged to have possessed this controlled drug; (1) with the intention to supply it to another person and (2) for the purpose of trafficking,” police said.
“The men were arrested on May 9, 2024, at Petit Bordel and appeared before the Serious Offence Court on May 13, 2024,” police said.
Police said Edwards pleaded guilty to both offences, while Mc Donald and Rougier pleaded not guilty. All three men were remanded in custody.
The matter was adjourned to May 14, 2024, for review and sentencing, police said.
