A MAN was granted $25,000 bail yesterday after being accused of having $110,000 worth of cocaine in his home last week.

Prosecutors allege that 51-year-old Carrington Knowles was found with 21 grams of marijuana after officers saw him acting suspiciously near a business on Talbot Street around 8.30pm on September 3.

Police later searched his residence on Penny Savings Bank Lane, where they allegedly seized an additional 7.3lbs of marijuana and 11lbs of cocaine.

The marijuana and cocaine have an estimated street value of $14,000 and $110,000 respectively.

Knowles was charged with possession of dangerous drugs and two counts of possession of dangerous drugs with intent to supply before Senior Magistrate Shaka Serville.

He pleaded not guilty to all charges. Bail was set at $25,000 with one or two sureties.

As part of his bail conditions, Knowles must sign in at the Wulff Road Police Station every Tuesday and Saturday by 7pm and will be fitted with a monitoring device.

He is scheduled to return to court on November 28.

Tai Pinder-Mackey represented the accused, while Inspector Cordero Farrington prosecuted the case.
