CNS : Despite being novices at drug smuggling, four Jamaican men have each been handed jail sentences ranging from two years to 32 months, a year after they were apprehended at sea with over lbs of ganja. Martin Trench 33 , Basil Smith 46 , Andre Russell 34 and Kendal Straumann 32 have been in jail since they were arrested last September after the boat they were in was spotted 27 miles off Grand Cayman by the police chopper. After that credit, the judge handed down the longest sentence of 32 months to Trench, who has previous convictions here in Cayman relating to drugs and illegal landing, and a month sentence to Smith, who has also previously landed illegally here. Strauman and Russell, who had no previous convictions, were given sentences of 26 and 24 months respectively. The judge recommended that all of the men be deported as soon as they have served their time and ordered the confiscation of the unregistered canoe which the men were in when they were caught trying to throw the drugs overboard. The men all said that they ended up getting involved in the foiled smuggling attempt after being promised a job on a fishing boat, but when they turned up, they all learned that this was not a fishing trip.
