A 24 year old man has been arrested and charged with possession of marijuana for the purpose of trafficking after cops executed a search warrant at his Cemetery Street, Matelot home, seizing a quantity of marijuana with an estimated street value of $270,000.

Nathan Alladin pleaded not guilty when he appeared before the Sangre Grande Magistrates’ Court and was granted bail in the sum of $300,000.

During an anti-crime exercise coordinated by Snr. Supt. Aguilal and Sgt Scipio, and supervised by Cpl Frederick, officers of the Matelot Police Station went to Santa Cruz Road Extension, Matelot, where they came upon a wooden structure.

Upon entering, the officers found 27 kilograms of dried marijuana.

The suspect was the lone occupant of the building and was arrested and charged for the offence by PC Pierre. 

The matter has been postponed to November 9th, 2020.
