Cocaine possession and failure to surrender to bail earned a 23-year-old Harold Hill man a curfew and a drug rehabilitation course.

Anthony Popoola, of Myrtle Road, was in possession of four wraps of cocaine September 19 this year. He then failed to appear at Barkingside Magistrates’ Court on October 1.

Popoola must remain at home between 8pm and 8am every night until December 31, and must attend treatment for drug dependency for six months.

He pleaded guilty to both charges. Barkingside magistrates imposed the sentence on Friday, December 3.
