BRIDGETOWN, Barbados, Jul 05 2017 – Two Canadian men will know their fates Wednesday after pleading guilty to several drug offences committed at one of this country’s main ports of entry.
Austin Clifford Acheson, 22, and Elvis Hermiz, 20, pleaded guilty to possession, possession with intent to supply, trafficking and importation of cannabis.
The drugs were found in their luggage after they arrived at the Grantley Adams International Airport from Canada on July 2.

They return before the same magistrate on Wednesday for sentencing.
