The suspect allegedly had one pack (0.40grams) of the illicit drug methamphetamine or ICE.
He has been charged with possession of illicit drugs.

He has also been charged with possession of illicit drugs.
Both accused will appear at the Magistrate Court this week.
In the third case, a search warrant was executed last Friday at a home in Ha’akame.
