CANU unearths $10.6M worth of cocaine in car

One person has been arrested following the seizure of some $10.6 million worth of cocaine by the Customs Anti-Narcotics Unit (CANU) on Thursday.
The bust was made when CANU officers, conducting an operation at the Young Professionals Housing Scheme at Providence, East Bank Demerara, intercepted motorcar PVV 4385, which was being driven by a 32-year-old man of Herstelling, EBD.
A search of that vehicle unearthed nine brick-like parcels suspected to be cocaine, and the suspect and the parcels were taken to the CANU Headquarters, where the substance tested positive for cocaine with a weight of 23lbs and a street value of $10.6 million.
