Following an operation in Alberttown, Georgetown, from the Police Narcotics Branch, two men who were busted with a quantity of ecstasy pills were on Friday charged before City Magistrate Leron Daly for drug trafficking.

Kurt Singh, a 31-year-old shopkeeper of Fifth Street, Alberttown, denied that charge. He was nabbed with 181 ecstasy pills.

It is alleged that on November 7, 2019, he trafficked 99.35 grammes of the amphetamine type pills.

The father of two was released on $100,000 bail with the condition that he reports to the Police Narcotics Branch every Monday.

Meanwhile, Kenton Haynes a 42- construction worker of Mocha, East Bank Demerara denied that he was busted with 190 pills.

The charge read that on November 7, 2019, at Georgetown, he trafficked 101 grammes of the pills.
