A city magistrate yesterday handed down the minimum sentence of three years in jail to a man who admitted to being in possession of just over 8 grammes cannabis for trafficking.
Carl Mangal appeared before Principal Magistrate Judy Latchman, who read the charge to him. He admitted that on May 18th, at Princes Street, Lodge, he had 8.4 grammes of cannabis in his possession for trafficking.
Police prosecutor Arvin Moore told the court that the police, acting on information, went to Mangal’s home, where a search was conducted and the narcotics were found in two Ziploc bags.
