Ganja trafficking accused get bail

Avinash Inshanally

Three men were hauled before a City Magistrate on Monday to answer to ganja trafficking charges following recent Customs Anti-Narcotic Unit (CANU) arrests.

Leon Bishop, Avinash Inshanally, 29, of Diamond Housing Scheme, East Bank Demerara, and Kevon Simpson, 35, also of Diamond Housing Scheme, East Bank Demerara, appeared before Principal Magistrate Sherdel Isaacs-Marcus at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts where they pleaded not guilty to the charges.

Bishop denied the charge that on October 29, at Campbell Avenue, George-town, he had in his possession 46.3 grammes of cannabis for the purpose of trafficking. He was represented by attorney-at-law Siand Dhurjon, who made an application for reasonable bail.
