The appellant was convicted of possession of heroin and cocaine for the purpose of trafficking and possession of proceeds of crime.
He appealed his convictions, challenging the validity of search warrants executed at two properties.
The Court of Appeal upheld the trial judge's findings that the appellant lacked standing to challenge the search of a garage where he only had a key and permission to store tools, as he had no reasonable expectation of privacy.
The Court also upheld the validity of the search warrant for his residence, finding that detailed information from a confidential informant, corroborated by police surveillance of hand-to-hand transactions, provided reasonable and probable grounds for the warrant.
The appeal was dismissed.
