TWO men convicted of possession of marijuana for the purpose of trafficking 24 years ago were yesterday each sentenced to prison terms exceeding 20 years.

Sheldon Gajadhar was sentenced to 20 years and 312 days, while Michael Collins received 23 years and 263 days with hard labour, following sentencing proceedings before Justice Devan Rampersad.

The case dates back to December 7, 2002, when police conducted an operation based on information they received and found the drugs in a vehicle in which the two men were occupants.
