5 Held At Sea With Marijuana

Five men have been arrested and charged after they were allegedly found with 98 kilogrammes of marijuana off the South Western coast of Tobago. The seized marijuana has an estimated street value of $5.8 million. Seon Charles, Desmond 'Son' Pavy, Jovel Espinoza, Theodore Bailey, and Husayn Sudan Al-Fayed appeared virtually before the Scarborough Magistrates' Court on Tuesday for possession of marijuana for the purpose of trafficking. ESPINOZA and PAVY have been remanded into custody while BAILEY, CHARLES and AL-FAYED were each granted bail in the sum of $500,000 and must report to the St. Joseph Police Station every Wednesday. The men were arrested after police responded to reports about a suspicious vessel adrift on the south-western coast of Tobago. A Coast Guard crew while attempting to intercept the vessel observed the men throwing several crocus bags into the water. The bags were retrieved and checks revealed packages of various shapes and sizes which contained the plant like substance, marijuana.
