The ganja that was found in Mooloo’s possession
Police have reported that two ranks on duty at the ferry stelling observed him acting suspiciously at around 18:00h on Tuesday, and they approached and questioned him. He identified himself and disclosed that he is a 23-year-old security officer who resides at Number 40 Village, Corentyne, Berbice.
Officers requested to conduct a search of his person and he consented. Thus, a black side bag in his possession was found to contain a quantity of leaves, seeds, and stems suspected to be cannabis.
Mooloo was immediately informed of the offence, and was cautioned and taken into custody. He was taken to the Bartica Police Station, where the suspected narcotics were weighed in his presence and confirmed to be 49 grams. The substance was then securely packaged, sealed, and lodged under the supervision of the subordinate officer.
