Police, her defence lawyer claimed yesterday.

And he only found out Charlene Webb's name three months after he was arrested for illegally importing currency out of the Island, QC Mr. Frank Phipps said yesterday.

Webb, 27, is accused of using US Navy personnel and their Base post office boxes to import cocaine and cannabis into the Island.

The White Hill, Sandys Parish resident denies conspiring with former serviceman Oswald Ferrel to import cocaine and cannabis between February 20, 1992 and October 13, 1993, importing cocaine and cannabis and possessing those drugs intended for supply, including a package containing 459 grams of cocaine which had an 83 percent purity and a street value of $145,750 and 863 grams of cannabis with a street value of $43,150.

Mr. Phipps told the Supreme Court yesterday that former serviceman Oswald Ferrel only found out the name of the St. Brendan's Hospital accounts clerk he said he imported drugs for three months after he was stopped at the Airport.

He also said it was the Police and US NAvy investigator Bob Bratton who told Ferrel to take the package to someone named Webb.

Mr. Phipps also told Ferrel: "The Police told you to take the package to St.

Brendan's and see who would pick it up.'' But Ferrel said: "Yes, I did get instructions, I was waiting for Charlene.'' Crown Counsel Mr. Khamisi Tokunbo asked Ferrel if he recognised the person to whom he delivered the package. Ferrel replied: "Yes, and I had dealt with her before.'' On Wednesday, Ferrel told the court that he admitted conspiring with Charlene Webb to import drugs into Bermuda, for which he served six months in a US Navy prison.

He added that while he was at the Civil Air Terminal on September 23, 1993, preparing to go to New York for Charlene Webb in order to drop off money for drugs, he was detained and searched by Police after he lied about the amount of currency he was carrying.

Bratton met with Ferrel at the Police Station and told the court that as a result of the information received from Ferrel he realised that he was involved in a drug smuggling operation.

"I told Ferrel that he was likely to be contacted by the individual he was working for and I informed him that he should not initiate any other contact with her. But if he was re-contacted he should agree to utilise his own post office box to receive any packages.

"On October 6 or 7 Ferrel contacted me and informed me that he was told that a package would soon arrive addressed to him at his (Base) post office box.

"And on October 11 at 2.40 p.m. I was notified by the Post Office that a package arrived for Ferrel. I sought out a search warrant and seized the package for inspection.'' Bratton added that he took the package to the Bermuda narcotics office where it was photographed and inspected.

"The parcel had the name Sharon Farmer of Brooklyn, New York as the sender.

It was a yellow eggo waffle box which contained three separate packages wrapped in duck tape. They consisted of powder and a vegetable substance.

"Government analyst Dr. Alan Young removed samples from each package and a dummy package was made.'' Bratton also said that he contacted Ferrel and informed him that the package had arrived and was waiting for him at the post office.

"Ferrel called for a cab to take him to St. Brendan's Hospital where he arranged to drop off the package to Charlene Webb. Two Police detectives and I followed in a van and once at the hospital we took a static position. I was also aware that other narcotics officers were stationed around the hospital surveying the delivery.'' The trial continues today before Puisne Judge the Hon. Mr. Justice Ground.
