An Amelia’s Ward youth was yesterday granted his release on $60,000 bail after being charged at a city court with possession of narcotics suspected to be for trafficking.

Moses Singh, 23, of Lot 162 Central Amelia’s Ward, Linden, was arraigned at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts yesterday on a charge of having 53 grammes of narcotics in his possession.

The charge was read to him by Principal Magistrate Faith McGusty.

It states that on September 27th, at Amelia’s Ward, Linden, he had in his possession 53 grammes of marijuana for the purpose of trafficking.

The court heard that the marijuana was found in a hammock at a business owned by Singh. The court was also informed that the hammock is accessible by the multiple persons who work with Singh.

According to police prosecutor Analisa Brumell, Singh did not admit to ownership of the narcotics at any time before nor after being arrested.

With no objections to bail from the prosecutor, the Magistrate released Singh on bail and transferred the matter to the Linden Magistrate’s Court, where it will be heard on October 16th.
