A baggage handler told Supreme Court that he collected and delivered a package for a co-worker at the centre of a plot to import heroin.The package — a dummy placed by US investigators — was allegedly found later that day in a blue and white Thermos in the possession of defendant Lorenzo Lottimore.Mr Lottimore, 33, and Craig Hatherley, 27, are both charged with conspiring with David Carroll and others not before the court to bring diamorphine, better known as heroin, to Bermuda between an unknown date and June 2, 2011.Both men deny the charges.As their trial continued yesterday, Loren Marshall told the court that on June 1, 2011, he was working at LF Wade International Airport, loading and unloading aircraft. He said that Carroll was also employed as a baggage handler at that time, but had seniority.He also told the court he knew Mr Lottimore, saying that the defendant had worked at the airport as a mechanic. However, he said Mr Lottimore was no longer working at the airport when the incident happened.Under cross-examination by Victoria Pearman, representing Mr Lottimore, Mr Marshall said the defendant and Carroll worked in different departments during their time at the airport, and he didn’t see them interact much.While Carroll was not working on the day in question, Mr Marshall said he received a phone call from him at around noon asking him to collect a package from a plane.“He asked me if I could pick up something and bring it to him after work,” he said.Later that afternoon, Mr Marshall said he located the package in the front of a US Airways aircraft’s rear compartment. He described the package as being around the size of a small water bottle and wrapped in a plastic bag.“It was in open space. I picked it up and put it in my pocket and resumed my job,” he said.Mr Marshall told the court that Carroll did not tell him what was in the package, and he did not look.He later hid the package in a white and blue Thermos. When he left work, he went to Burchall’s Cove in Hamilton Parish, where he had agreed to meet Carroll.He said he passed the Thermos to Carroll, and then left the area on his motorcycle.Both Carroll and Mr Lottimore were arrested at the park a short time later, with police allegedly finding the Thermos hanging from a strap on Mr Lottimore’s person. The officers also seized $10,000 of cash.Prosecutors have alleged that the defendants worked with Brian Wade, a baggage handler in Philadelphia, in a plan to import the drugs. However Wade was secretly working with US authorities after being caught stashing cannabis on a flight to Bermuda in October 2010.The Crown allege that during the investigation, Mr Hatherley flew to New York to deliver a package of heroin and a quantity of cash to an associate of Wade. The court heard that the associate was actually an undercover officer, and the entire meeting was recorded.Detective Constable Alickson Severin, the case officer for the investigation, told the court both Carroll and Mr Marshall were originally charged in connection with the matter before the court.Both men were charged alongside the defendants with conspiring to import heroin, while Carroll alone was additionally charged with conspiring to import cannabis.However the Crown elected to not continue with their prosecution against Mr Marshall, and Carroll pleaded guilty to one of the two conspiracy charges. The court was not told which of the charges he admitted.Yesterday, the court heard US and Bermudian experts produced different measurements of the drugs that were seized in New York.While US experts found the drugs to be 397.6g of heroin, and estimated it to be around 36.6 percent pure, Dr Desiree Spriggs in Bermuda measured the drugs to be 388.78g of heroin, and 30 percent pure.DC Severin said that the variation would affect the value of the drugs. He explained that in Bermuda, heroin is typically sold as either “decks,” which consist of around 11mg of powder, or as half-grams.While the drugs would carry an estimated street value of $997,000 if sold as decks in Bermuda according to the US figures, based on the Bermuda figures that value would fall to $775,000.However, he said even the lower quantity would not be considered as being for personal use.“In my personal opinion, this quantity of heroin is not for one’s personal use, but for the sole purposes of supply,” he said.The trial is set to continue in Supreme Court today.
