– Stems of cannabis

– Some leaves of cannabis 

Not only this, a tattoo artist was also arrested in the same month for the possession of Marijuana. It was noted that the accused, Nicholas Samaroo, was standing at a distance of five feet from the officials. He was caught throwing a pink plastic bag into bushes.

On searching the bag in front of Samaroo, the officials found:
