Tuschen brothers nabbed with ganja during Police operation
Kevin De Cruz, 24, and Patrick De Cruz, 25, brothers of Tuschen New Housing Scheme, East Bank Essequibo, were arrested on Thursday with a quantity of ganja at Tuschen, and are expected to be charged shortly.
Police have said that, acting on information received, they went to Tuschen Housing Scheme, EBE, and carried out a search on the residence of the brothers, where they unearthed one large transparent Ziplock plastic bag containing several smaller Ziplock bags under the bed of Kevin De Cruz.
He was told of the offence committed, and under caution replied, “Is just a small portion, I can deal with that.”

In this instance, the older brother responded, “Is me thing, is a lil thing.”
They were arrested and escorted to the Leonora Police Station, along with the cannabis. On arrival, the cannabis found under Kevin’s bed was weighed in his presence and amounted to 54.5 grams, while the other portion was weighed in the presence of Patrick and amounted to 13.3 grams.
Both brothers remain in custody pending charges.
