Trial of the two British teenage girls arrested with quantities of drugs suspected to be cocaine at the Kotoka International Airport early July has been fixed tentatively for July 26.
The two girls, both 16 years, appeared briefly in camera at the Fast Track High Court presided over by Justice Baffoe Bonnie.
Their appearance was for procedural purposes; to discharge them from the High Court so they could be properly arraigned before the Juvenile Courts because of their ages.
Officials of the Narcotics Control Board and the Attorney General’s Department escorted the girls whose pleas were not taken.
They had been on the provisional charge of possessing narcotics.
