Cannabis that a customs officer allegedly plotted to import had a street value of $54,725, according to a police expert.Bromwin Thompson, 36, is accused of conspiring with Shannon Berkley, 42, and other unknown persons to import cannabis and cannabis resin.Thompson, of Southampton, is also accused of official corruption and possessing drugs with intent to supply.He denies the allegations.Mr Thompson’s Supreme Court trial has heard he was working as a customs officer at the Fed Ex facility in Serpentine Road, Pembroke, at the time of the alleged offences in 2009.The case centres around a package intercepted at the facility on May 20 of that year containing 98.4 grams of cannabis.It had been shipped from an address in Brooklyn, New York, to the Tio Pepe restaurant in Southampton.The jury has heard from restaurant manager Manual Sequeros that he had no knowledge of the package or its contents.According to evidence from Police Constable Trevor Knight yesterday, the value of those drugs if sold on the streets of Bermuda in half-gram twists would be $4,925.The trial also focuses on a package shipped from Ethiopia, which was discovered by a sniffer dog at Bermuda’s LF Wade International Airport on June 4 2009.It was addressed to a man named Manuel Lima at the Paradise Gift Shop in St George and contained 497.9 grams of cannabis resin.The trial has heard evidence that Mr Lima died in March 2009. The trial has also heard from Terrence Roberts, owner of the gift shop, who said he has never been to Ethiopia and does not know Mr Lima.According to Pc Knight, the cannabis resin has a street value of $49,800 if sold on the streets of Bermuda.The trial has previously heard evidence of phone calls and text messages between Mr Thompson and Mr Berkley.Prosecutors say these indicate the pair exchanged information about the names and addresses of the planned recipients in Bermuda.Prosecutors say Mr Thompson’s role in the conspiracy was to look out for the packages and intercept them, and that he knew the packages contained drugs.The trial heard on Friday from UK criminal intelligence analyst Jacqueline Day who was asked about text messages between Mr Thompson and Mr Berkley.She told the court Mr Berkley’s phone had been used to communicate with numbers overseas while Mr Thompson’s phone showed evidence of local communications with Mr Berkley’s phone.“It can be inferred that Mr Berkley was involved with organising package deals with overseas suppliers, and passed information to Mr Thompson, who was in a position to monitor the deliveries of the packages,” said Ms Day.Detective Constable Alickson Severin told the jury yesterday that Mr Thompson was arrested on July 17 2009 on suspicion of importing drugs.His home in Granaway Heights was searched, as was his car.After what Det Con Severin referred to as a search at “another location,” Mr Thompson was remanded into custody.
