    The prosecution proved beyond reasonable doubt that the accused had custody/control and knowledge of the seized drugs found in a toolbox in the vehicle he was solely driving; the weight of heroin exceeded statutory threshold so presumption of distribution under s37(da)(i) was raised and not rebutted on balance of probabilities; defence explanation was an unsupported afterthought and failed to create reasonable doubt; accordingly accused convicted on all three charges and sentenced as specified.
