Three men arrested last week following the discovery of 450 pounds of ganja and nearly $6,000 in cash have been charged, police said Tuesday.

The three men, one age 57 of George Town, and the others, ages 28 and 29 of Bodden Town, appeared in court on Tuesday, 2 April, charged with possession of, or intent to supply, ganja.

The 57-year-old has also been charged with possession of criminal property in relation to the cash seized.

All three were granted bail pending a further court appearance.

They had been arrested at premises in Seymour Road in George Town on Tuesday, 26 March, after police officers conducting enquiries in the area detected a strong scent of ganja, leading to a search.
