A court hearing in a large-scale cannabis importation matter was postponed Wednesday after prosecutors indicated the case file is still under review.<\/p>

Nadeem Brandon Doumith of Crosbies and Francis Young of Hodges Bay are jointly charged in connection with a May 9, 2025 drug seizure at Deep Water Harbour. The men face allegations including conspiracy to traffic cannabis, importation, possession, intent to supply and involvement in distribution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Investigators reportedly found a cardboard box inside a container at the cargo shed containing 62 vacuum-sealed parcels of cannabis weighing 62 pounds. The drugs were said to carry an estimated street value of $372,000.<\/p>

Doumith is represented by Wendel Alexander, while Young is represented by attorney Okola. Alexander appeared for both men at the hearing.<\/p>

Chief Magistrate Ngaio Emanuel was told the matter remains with the vetting unit and must be sent to the Director of Public Prosecutions for a determination. The case was adjourned to April 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
