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.
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.
