CANU finds ganja during operations at Better Hope, Plaisance
The cannabis discovered during the operations
Agents of the Customs Anti-Narcotics Unit (CANU) on Thursday unearthed quantities of cannabis during operations conducted at Better Hope and at Plaisance, two separate locations on the East Coast of Demerara.
A release from CANU said officers conducted operations at known drug blocks in the villages of Better Hope and Plaisance, ECD, during which several Ziplock bags each containing a quantity of cannabis were discovered. The narcotic was taken to CANU Headquarters, where it was weighed and amounted to 332 grammes.
At time of the discovery, no one was at either of the two locations; however, investigations are underway to determine ownership of the narcotic.
CANU has said it continues to work tirelessly to eradicate illicit drugs from communities, recognising that dangerous and addictive substances like marijuana can have a negative impact on the future of our youths.
