FOURTH PERSON CHARGED FOR DRUG SEIZURE AT BRANDYWINE BAY

Police last week charged a fourth person for drug possession in relation to the cocaine seizure at Brandywine Bay early this year.

Delaino Johnney, 25, a Vincentian national currently on remand at the Prison, was officially charged with possession of a control drug with intent to supply.

He will appear at Magistrate’s Court at the next available sitting.

Police had previously arrested three persons in relation to 200 kilos of cocaine seized. Interdicted Police Officer Troy St. Helen, 39, of Jennings Hill, Shaun Massicott, 28, of East End and Devon Bedford of Harrigan Estate were all three charged with possession of a controlled drug with intent to supply and being concerned with the supply of a controlled drug.

During the January 19^th operation, officers of the Force intercepted a rental vehicle. A search of that vehicle uncovered a large quantity of cocaine and a subsequent search of a second vehicle uncovered a smaller quantity of cocaine.

A boat was seized as part of that operation.
