Father remanded, son on bail over Providence drug bust
A 55-year-old man and his son were on Friday hauled before Senor Magistrate Sunil Scarce to answer to a charge of possession of narcotics for the purpose of trafficking.
Appearing in the Diamond/Golden Grove Magistrates’ Court, Adrian Carew of 38 Rainbow City, Wismar, Linden, and his son, Cavel Carew, 27, of 871 Central Amelia’s Ward, Linden, both pleaded not guilty to the joint charge.
The allegation against the duo is that on March 20, at Providence, East Bank Demerara (EBD), they had 11.204 kilograms of cocaine in their possession for the purpose of trafficking.
Adrian was remanded to prison, while his son was granted $600,000 bail. As a condition of bail, Cavel was ordered to report to the Customs Anti-Narcotic Unit (CANU) every month.
The duo was nabbed on Wednesday after CANU conducted an operation on the Providence Public Road and intercepted a canter where the men were the occupants. The cocaine, when weighed in their presence, amounted to 11.204 kilograms.
