2 busted with foreign ganga, gun during CANU operation
Two persons were taken into custody following the discovery of a quantity of cannabis and a .38 revolver during an operation in Georgetown on Friday.
The Customs Anti-Narcotics Unit (CANU) stated that its agents conducted an operation on Friday during which a motorcar was intercepted. A subsequent search of the vehicle unearthed a large Ziplock bag containing a quantity of cannabis.
The cannabis and gun found in an abandoned house
Two persons were arrested and escorted to CANU’s Headquarters along with the suspected narcotic, which tested positive for cannabis and weighed one kilogram.
However, during a follow-up operation on Saturday, officers searched an abandoned house which led to the discovery of a black plastic bag with another set of cannabis weighing 916 grams and a .38 revolver.
The cannabis that was seized is known as “Sour Deisel” – foreign cannabis that has a current street value of $700,000 per kilogram. Investigations are continuing.
