The cocaine that was found with the Linden duo

Two Linden, Region 10 (Upper Demerara-Berbice) men were on Wednesday busted with 11.204 kilograms of cocaine by the Customs Anti-Narcotics Unit (CANU) along the Providence Public Road, East Bank Demerara (EBD).
CANU said that on Wednesday, its agents intercepted a motor canter at Providence and during a search, several bricklike parcels containing a substance accused to be cocaine were found concealed in a box.
The two men – a 55-year-old of Rainbow City, Wismar, Linden and a 27-year-old of Central Amelia’s Ward, Linden – were arrested and taken to CANU headquarters, where the substance was weighed, tested, and confirmed as cocaine.
Investigations are continuing.
