A Jamaican national was named yesterday as the third person charged with a plot to supply the controlled drug fentanyl.

Maurice Martin was charged in Magistrates’ Court of a single count of conspiring with others between an unknown date and December 20 to supply the synthetic opioid.

He was not required to enter a plea as the matter will be heard by the Supreme Court.

Two Canadian nationals have previously been charged in connection with the same incident.

The 33-year-old was released on $150,000 bail with a like surety, under the conditions that he surrender all travel documents and report to the Hamilton Police Station on a daily basis.

The matter is expected to appear before the Supreme Court in March.
