One of two men charged in connection with the seizure of more than a kilogramme of cocaine along the Nelson Mandela Highway in St Catherine was granted bail when they appeared in the St Catherine Parish Court on Monday.

Lenford Ferguson, a tiler of New Works, Westmoreland, was granted $700,000 bail with surety by Acting Parish Court Judge Janelle Nelson-Gayle.

However, his co-accused, farmer Donald Baugh, was remanded after the judge ruled that he had breached the Bail Act.
