MAN FACING SECOND CHARGE FOR CANNABIS

A Bendals man was remanded to His Majesty’s Prison for two separate drug-related charges.

37-year-old Damar Stappleton was arrested and charged for importing 20 pounds of cannabis into the country on March 13.

He was further charged with possession of cannabis, possession with intent to distribute and involvement in cannabis supply.

Police say these alleged offenses took place at the Deep-Water Harbour.

Stappleton is also on remand for similar offenses he allegedly committed on March 7, 2024.

During a joint operation by the Police and Customs Officers, 41 packages of cannabis weighing a total of 41 pounds were seized.

The probe into both matters led to Stappleton being arrested and charged.
He is currently awaiting trial scheduled for July 9, 2024.
