A 46-year-old man of West Coast Demerara (WCD) was nabbed at the Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA) on Wednesday after it was found that he had ingested over 90 cocaine pellets.
Police reports revealed the man has since excreted some 61 of the 91 pellets which he swallowed. The cocaine retrieved thus far has been weighed and amounts to 444 grams. The cocaine mule remains a patient at the Georgetown Public Hospital, under guard. 
The man who has been under Police radar for quite some time was about to board a flight to the United States. He was arrested at about 14:00h on Wednesday, during the check-in process. He was observed by ranks of the Police Narcotics Branch acting in a suspicious manner and pulled out of the line for questioning.
He first denied carrying anything illegal but during interrogation, he started to perspire and it was then that he was asked to visit the X-ray room where the pellets were detected.
A 35-year-old taxi driver who was with him at the time was also arrested and was being questioned.
