Two days after being detained by the Customs Anti-Narcotic Unit (CANU), two men were yesterday separately charged with trafficking cocaine.
Cordell Moore, 47, of Lot 974 Glasgow Housing Scheme and Ulric Jordan, 50, of Lot 10 Camp Street, Georgetown, appear-ed before Senior Magistrate Leron Daly in a Georgetown court.
The charge against Moore states that on February 10th, at Waterloo and Commerce streets, Georgetown, he trafficked a narcotic, that is to say, 504 grammes of cocaine.
The charge against Jordan states that on the same day at his home address, he had a bag containing a digital scale with traces of cocaine thereon.
Both men denied the charge against them and were remanded to prison until March 5th, when their next hearing is scheduled.
CANU on Thursday announced that Moore, who is a taxi-driver, and Jordan, a businessman, were intercepted by the ranks who are conducting an ongoing investigation. In a press release it said that the taxi-driver was arrested while he was in a car, of which he was the sole occupant. It further said that a search of the car unearthed the suspected cocaine, amounting to 504 grammes, which was hidden in a panel of the car’s trunk.
It added that the businessman, who was intercepted at his home on the same day, had a bag containing a digital tabletop scale which had traces of the suspected illicit substance on the instrument at the time of his arrest.
The release further stated that they each had a quantity of cash in their possession when they were arrested.
