Man caught throwing bag with prohibited items over prison fence

Georgetown : A man who told police he has no fixed place of abode will soon certainly find one.

About 9:30pm yesterday an alert police rank securing a section of the outer perimeter of the Georgetown Prison observed the 42 year labourer with a bulky bag, which he swiftly threw over the north-eastern fence of the prison and attempted to flee the area but was promptly arrested by the said officer who immediately communicated what transpired.

Shortly after, Prison Officers retrieved the bag and found it to contain a number of prohibited items inclusive of ten 10 packs of cigarettes, a cellular phone and 793 grams of cannabis.

 

He is cooperating with investigators and is likely to appear in court soon.
