Cocaine, ganja & ammo found during raid at BV

A recent raid conducted by police in Regional Division 4C, East Coast Demerara (ECD) has unearthed a quantity of narcotics and ammunition hidden on a plot of land at Beterverwagting, ECD. The intelligence-led operation was carried out between 12:05h and 14:00h on Friday at a corner shop located at Sideline Dam, Beterverwagting, which is owned by David Mingo, a 42-year-old resident of the same community. During a search of the shop, the ranks discovered one large plastic sealer, a large plastic wrap, and several small transparent and coloured Ziploc bags. But no illicit items were found at that location.
However, acting on further intelligence, the ranks proceeded to a nearby plot of land east of the shop, covered with thick vegetation, and found a white salt bag concealed at the root of a palm tree, along with a small white bucket.
Upon examination, the salt bag contained several transparent plastic wraps of a quantity of leaves, seeds, and stems suspected to be cannabis. The bucket was found to contain three boxes with 60 live 7.62 x 39 mm ammunition, one box with 50 live 9mm rounds, a quantity of creamish rock-like substance suspected to be cocaine, and a sum of cash. Mingo, along with the suspected narcotics and ammunition, was escorted to the Sparendaam Police Station. When questioned, the shop owner denied any knowledge of the items.
The substances when weighed showed that the suspected cocaine amounted to 785 grams (g), and the suspected cannabis to 3895 g. Meanwhile, the cash found totalled some G$78,500. All exhibits, including the suspected narcotics, ammunition and cash, were lodged accordingly.
