The Bermuda Police Service can confirm that two Canadian nationals, 25 year old Jacqueline Robinson and 35 year old Craig Lawrence, were initially involved in a medical emergency at the Hamilton Princess hotel on 20th December 2016.
Both were treated in hospital and subsequently arrested on suspicion of importing Fentanyl into the island.
In Hamilton Magistrates' Court on Thursday, 5th January Ms. Robinson faced a charge of importing the controlled drug while Mr. Lawrence faced charges of importing the controlled drug and possession with intent to supply.
They were not required to plea as the matter is indictable and remanded into custody until the next arraignment session on 1st February.
The Bermuda Police Service is still investigating the matter. As such, any further statement would be inappropriate at the present moment.
Anybody with information that may assist the investigation is urged to contact the investigating officer Detective Sergeant David Bhagwan at 441-295-0011 or contact the confidential Crime Stoppers Bermuda hotline at 800-8477. |
