TWO men pleaded not guilty to a series of drug charges stemming from a recent cocaine seizure and are scheduled to stand trial in the Supreme Court on July 16.

DeShawn Rodgers, 22, and Timothy Saunders, 25, were formally charged before Chief Magistrate Roberto Reckley with conspiracy and possession of dangerous drugs with intent to supply, conspiracy to export drugs, and taking preparatory steps to commit the offences.

The charges relate to an April 12 incident in which police allegedly uncovered a quantity of cocaine.

The men were granted $7,000 bail, with conditions including electronic monitoring and mandatory check-ins three times a week.
