ADAM Vaz, the son of Cabinet Minister Daryl Vaz, was yesterday arrested after a small quantity of ganja was allegedly found in his hand luggage as he attempted to board a flight from the Tinson Pen Aerodrome in Kingston.

The 18-year-old Vaz was about to board a flight to work in Montego Bay, St James in the afternoon when his hand luggage was searched and the illegal substance allegedly found.

The younger Vaz was charged with possession of ganja and taken to the Newport West Police Station where he was later released on a $10,000-bail bond.

The teenager, who is being represented by attorneys Tom and Chris Tavares-Finson, is scheduled to appear in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Court on April 6.
