Two men charged in connection with the multi-million dollar drug bust in Charlieville are to re-appear in court today.
Fifty-six-year-old Selwyn Mathews of Chin Chin Road, Cunupia, and 37-year-old Odane Anderson of Vistabella are charged with possession of marijuana for the purpose of trafficking.
They appeared before a Chaguanas Magistrate yesterday.
Reports say around 10:30am on Wednesday August 12th officers intercepted a container at Kolahal Road, Charlieville, Chaguanas.
The container reportedly left the port of Port of Spain on the same day.
Upon searching the container, officers found 958 boxes containing a compressed plant like material resembling marijuana, which weighed 947.64 kilograms.
Police say the drug had a street value of $94,764,000.
The men were remanded into custody and the matter was adjourned to today.
