A Warwick man was found guilty of importing over $100,000 worth of cannabis yesterday.

Terrance Vancouver Caines was remanded in custody after a seven-man, five-woman jury delivered their verdict.

Caines denied importing over 2,000 grams of cannabis in two reel-to-reel containers on July 27, 2004.

The drugs were discovered after he arrived at Bermuda International Airport from the UK when a Customs officer asked to X-ray the containers.

When it was placed on the machine for X-ray, the Customs officer said Caines asked to go to the washroom which raised suspicions.

The X-ray revealed that there were items other than reel-to-reel tapes in the containers.

After inspecting the case, Police discovered a large amount of cannabis and questioned Caines.

He refused to answer, but said: "Silence is the secret to success."

Caines, represented by Larry Scott, told the court he had no knowledge of the drugs.

He said he hadn't touched the tapes for six months since returning to the UK from Jamaica.

Describing himself as a "universal truth revealer and entrepreneur", Caines said he made recordings of nature sounds and was planning to transfer them on the reel-to-reel tapes.

Caines said he did not search the containers because "I had no reason to suspect they contained drugs".

He suggested that there was a mix up and he was sent the wrong containers.

By a majority of ten to two, the jury found Caines guilty of both importation of drugs and possession with intent to supply.

He was remanded in custody by Puisne Judge Charles-Etta Simmons and will appear in Supreme Court on Monday for sentencing.
