2 men charged in connection with 94 million dollar drug bust to reappear in court today

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.
