THE THREE MEN charged in connection with nearly $2 million in drugs were today remanded by Chief Magistrate Pamela Beckles to HMP Dodds.
Despite stirring pleas for bail by their attorneys, 57-year-old businessman and former policeman David Leroy Cumberbatch, 60-year-old farmer Neville O’Neal Cumberbatch, and Mikhael Sealy, a 26-year-old boat crewman, were remanded until April 16 on six charges involving 31.9 kilos of cocaine with a street value of $1.595 million, and 56 kg of cannabis worth $224 000.
The men were yesterday taken to the Oistins Magistrates Court following a recent drug raid and charged with possessing, trafficking, intending to supply, and importing the drugs last Monday, March 16.
