Twenty-three-year-old Corwayne Gomes of Grant Opposition, Pomeroon River, Region Two (Pomeroon-Supenaam) is expected to be slapped with a possession of narcotics charge following a Customs Anti-Narcotics Unit operation on Monday.
During that operation, conducted at Charity Stelling, the suspect was observed carrying a plastic bag, and CANU ranks requested permission to search the bag, which resulted in them unearthing the cannabis in the form of a red brick-like parcel.
