Update: I am advised
that all reference to 'heroin' in the articles printed by the Royal Gazette in
respect of Mr Darrell are incorrect. Apparently, Mr Darrell
was
first arrested at Gatwick on the 12th of Dec 2004 in possession
of six kilos of cannabis resin but
at the time
incorrectly charged with a heroin related offence. Mr Darrell returned to Court
in late January and was recharged with Cannabis resin possession*. He served 10
months of a 21month sentence.
Mr Darrell
is apparently now
the Production Manager of an
Intervention Program run by the Ministry of Social Rehabilitation, Bermuda.
*it is not
currently known whether this was 'possession', 'possession with intent to
supply' or 'importation'.
Pair identified in UK heroin arrests - December 2004
Former Police officer Tory Darrell and Wayne Mahon were the two men arrested
at Gatwick airport on Sunday for attempting to smuggle $20 million worth of
heroin to Bermuda, The Royal Gazette has learned.
A UK Customs spokesman yesterday confirmed the duo were apprehended by
airport Police while in transit from the Netherlands, following the
discovery of six kilograms of heroin concealed within the kick-boxing
equipment they had brought with them.
The heroin could
have a street value here of $20 million. The spokesman said: “I can only
speculate at this stage, but given the amount of drugs and the quite
sophisticated nature of the smuggling operation, both could be looking at a
prison sentence of ten to 15 years if convicted – perhaps longer.”
Police spokesman Dwayne Caines confirmed yesterday that Darrell is a former
Policeman and is currently employed at TCD.
In Crawley
Magistrates’ Court on Monday, both were charged with the importation of a
controlled drug.
It is understood a trial date is likely to be set for the beginning of
February. |
17th December:
Serving Policeman arrested in the UK – later released on bail. A full-time
Policeman who has been employed with the Bermuda Police Service for ten years
was arrested in the UK yesterday on suspicion of drug importation. “An
investigation is continuing locally and we would like to make it clear that the
Officer has not been charged and has been released on bail,” said Media
spokesman Caines. The name, age, and rank of the officer was not released to the
media
