Two men have appeared at Derry Magistrate’s Court today after police stopped a vehicle and found a quantity of drugs.
35 year old Benjamin Quinn of Market Close in Castlefin County Donegal was charged with driving while unfit, possession of Class A, B and C drugs, and possession of Class A with intent to supply on November 11th.
There was no application for bail, and Quinn was remanded in custody to appear again on November 16th.
The second accused, 23 year old Josh Wray of Stevenson Park in Derry appeared charged with possessing class B drugs with intent to supply, possessing class B drugs and possessing criminal property. A police officer told the court that after the vehicle driven by Quinn was stopped, police went to an address and found Wray there. They also found a quantity of drugs and £20,000 in cash.
When interviewed, Wray said he was ‘in the wrong place at the wrong time’, adding a friend had let him stay at that address.
Bail was opposed due to the risk of reoffending, and the officer said Wray seemed to be living beyond his means.
Defence solicitor Seamus Quigley said that Wray had a limited record for drugs. Wray was released to an address approved by the PSNI and will appear again on December 13.
