Alleged condom drug smuggler to appear in Royal Court

Friday 14 December 2018

A Frenchman accused of smuggling a condom filled with £20,000 worth of cocaine and heroin into Jersey will appear in the Royal Court next year.

Cedric Joel Conord (32) was charged with two counts of drug smuggling after being stopped at Jersey Airport earlier this month.

Mr Conord is represented by Advocate Francesca Pinel and was refused bail when he appeared in the Magistrate’s Court earlier this week.

Relief Magistrate David Le Cornu concluded that the case was too serious for the Magistrate’s Court to deal with and therefore decided to send it to the Royal Court.

The Relief Magistrate ordered that Mr Conord be taken into custody until 21 January next year when his case will be formally committed to the Royal Court.
