Elton D’Aguair was on Monday remanded to prison after being charged with trafficking 1.6 kilograms of marijuana.
D’Aguair, 55, appeared before Magistrate Omadatt Chandan at the Lethem Magistrate’s Court, where he pleaded not guilty to the charge of possession of narcotics for the purpose of trafficking.
The charge stems from a drug bust conducted by the Customs Anti-Narcotic Unit (CANU) on May 16, 2025.
According to CANU, ranks acting on information conducted an operation at a residence in the Tabatinga Housing Scheme, Lethem. A subsequent search led to the discovery of a parcel containing leaves, seeds, and stems of marijuana.
During Monday’s court appearance, bail was denied, and he was remanded to prison until his next court date on June 27, 2025.
