Two persons have been taken into custody following the discovery of over 1 kilogram of ganja during a Police operation at Belle West, Canal No. 2 Polder, West Bank Demerara on Sunday.
Serena Wilson, 18, of Lot 463 Belle West, WBD and 20-year-old Romaul Armstrong, a construction worker of the same address, are both assisting Police with the investigations.
Based on information received, plainclothes Police ranks went to the mentioned address and, after identifying themselves, requested to search the premises for illegal guns, drugs and ammunition.
Permission was granted, and
initially nothing illegal was found during the search. However, ranks observed that an area to the southern side of the premises had a track leading into the bushes, and upon inspection, they discovered a blue barrel which, when opened, contained several black plastic bags with cannabis.
The duo, along with the barrel, was taken to the Leonora Police Station, where the narcotic was weighed and amounted to 1133.4 grams. When questioned, these two individuals denied knowledge of the marijuana. Investigations are ongoing.
