A raid by Police narcotics officers on a Pembroke residence last year resulted in the seizure of more than $140,000 worth of heroin and cocaine, a Police witness told a Supreme Court jury yesterday.

Det. Con. Robert Cardwell was testifying at the trial of Pembroke pair Damon Kujal Simons, 23, and Jamel Tito Smith, 22, who have denied possessing 19.89 grams of diamorphine, commonly known as heroin, with intent to supply.

The pair also pleaded not guilty to possessing drug equipment and obstructing a Police officer while Simons, of First Avenue, denied possessing 12.1 grams of cocaine with intent to supply.

They were arrested on February 12 last year when Police rammed down the door of the residence, on King's Gate Lane, armed with a search warrant.

Det. Con. Cardwell described to the eight-woman, four-man jury how he saw Simons jump out of the window and "scramble away'' after he knocked on the door.

"It all happened so fast,'' he said, adding that Simons dropped a cellular telephone, a baseball cap and a bag of white powder, later revealed to be cocaine, when he hit the ground.

Although he made good his escape, Simons was arrested by Police hours later after being spotted on Happy Valley Road.

Det. Con. Cardwell said, on entering the studio apartment, he found Smith, of West Park Lane, next to a table covered in clear plastic twists full of white powder.

"There was powder and twists on the floor and they led into the bathroom where the toilet was full of the same stuff,'' he said. "It appeared the toilet had been recently flushed because the water was running.'' Det. Con. Cardwell said a search of the apartment also turned up an electric measuring scale, a spoon, two mirrors, clear plastic bags, red twist ties, two pairs of scissors and newspaper.

He described how Smith had to be restrained with handcuffs when they arrested him.

And, according to the officer, when asked who the drugs belonged to, Smith replied: "I don't know. I'm just here having lunch.'' Police witness tells court of drug bust Det. Con Cardwell also alleged Smith lied to him about who had just jumped out of the window, telling him the man's name was Damon Francis.

In cross-examination, Simons' lawyer Mark Pettingill asked how the officer knew it was his client who jumped out of the window "if it happened so fast''.

Det. Con Cardwell answered: "I did not know his name but I did recognise him.'' And Mr. Pettingill quizzed him on why he had tested the window sill and cellular phone for fingerprints if he was so sure it was him.

Also read in to the record was a statement from Government analyst Kevin Lees, who said tests on the electric scales showed they had been in contact with drugs.

And expert Police witness Det. Sgt. Dennis Gordon told the jury the amount of drugs found in the house was too much to have been for personal use "and must have been for distribution''.

The trial continues today before Puisne Judge Norma Wade-Miller.

Crown counsel Larry Mussenden appears for the prosecution and Elizabeth Christopher appears for Smith.
