Not the marijuana mentioned in the story

BVI News understands that a 15-year-old boy was recently charged with possession of marijuana after cops accosted him in the vicinity of Purcell Estate.

Our news centre understands that the police were in the community when they noticed the young man irresponsibly riding his bike. They tried to get him to stop but the teen reportedly hurled expletives at the cops.

The cops then tried to approach him, but he started running once he realised they were police officers. Once he was held by the cops, they carried out a search and found the marijuana.

The exact quantity discovered is unknown, but reports are that the teen said the drugs did not belong to him. After he was arrested and placed in the police car, the teen reportedly made another attempt to escape the cops.

His efforts were futile and he was jailed and later offered bail at an unknown sum. It’s not clear whether his bail bond was paid and whether he’s been released. It’s also not clear whether or not he’s a first-time offender.

In the meantime, our news centre understands that the young man will appear in court at a later date.
