An airport employee and a security guard, accused of loading ganja onto a shipment of yams at the Norman Manley International Airport, were denied bail when they appeared before the Corporate Area Criminal Court on Friday.
Demarlo Heslop,26, a warehouse attendant, of Harbour Heights, Harbour View, in Kingston and Kurt Griffiths, 33, a security guard of Franklyn Town, Kingston, were charged on Monday.
Narcotics police accused them of being involved in drug trafficking at the airport.
They were arrested last Friday after 50 pounds of compressed ganja was seized at the AJAS Cargo Warehouse at the Norman Manley International Airport.
The Contraband Enforcement Team conducted security checks at the airport when a shipment of yams and cocoa was searched and found to contain twenty-two packages of ganja.
The items were being prepared for export on a flight destined for London.
