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 Toure­an Charles, Desmond ‘Son’ Pavy, Jov­el Es­pinoza, Theodore Bai­ley, and Husayn Su­dan Al-Fayed ap­peared vir­tu­al­ly be­fore the Scar­bor­ough Mag­is­trates’ Court on De­cem­ber 22, 2020, 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 the Spe­cial In­ves­ti­ga­tions Unit and Scar­bor­ough Di­vi­sion­al Task Force, in a joint ef­fort with the Coast Guard, re­spond­ed to in­for­ma­tion about a sus­pi­cious ves­sel adrift on the south-west­ern coast of To­ba­go.

While at­tempt­ing to in­ter­cept the ves­sel, the Coast Guard crew ob­served the men throw­ing sev­er­al cro­cus bags in­to the wa­ter.

The bags were re­trieved and checks re­vealed pack­ages of var­i­ous shapes and sizes which, when in­ves­ti­gat­ed, con­tained the plant-like sub­stance, mar­i­jua­na. The mat­ter has been post­poned to Jan­u­ary 5, 2021.
