Female Held For Major Weed Bust In City
posted (August 26, 2013)
The GSU made a major weed bust in the city early this morning – and a woman stands accused for it – she's seen here with the masked GSU and all the weed they say she had stowed in her apartment. It happened just after midnight when they searched an apartment at 152 Antelope Street Extension occupied by 31 year old Therese Elizabeth Eligio also known as Tanisha YOUNG.

The GSU found a large red crocus sack and a large black garbage bag under a bed.

The red sack contained 89 small parcels of cannabis inside separate black bags with a total weight of 9.8 kilos or 21 pounds. The large black garbage bag had 24.8 kilos or 54 pounds of compressed cannabis. Add the two up – and that's a total of 75 pounds of weed. And police could have checked it right on scene because two scales were also found next to the drugs in the room.

And while that bust was sizeable, the GSU team also observed an adjacent apartment where 33 year old tour guide Karim Llewelyn BOOD aka Boody, was seen throwing some black plastic bags out of the bathroom window into the backyard. The raided his apartment and escorted him to where the drugs were thrown. 14 small parcels of cannabis were retrieved containing a total of 1.6 kgs or 3. 52 pounds.

Therese ELIGIO or as she is also known Tanisha JONES was arrested and charged for 2 counts of "Possession of controlled drugs with intent to supply" and BOOD was also charged with 1 count of the same offence of "Possession of controlled drugs with intent to supply." Police say Therese ELIGIO/JONES is an associate of the Mayflower/Ghost Town gang.
