Essequibo Coast housewife nabbed with cocaine

A 40-year-old housewife of Bounty Hall, Essequibo Coast, was arrested on Thursday by Police after she was found to be in possession of 451 grams of cocaine in her home.
The Police ranks, at about 17:25h on Thursday, acted on information received and went to the home of Brenda Charles.
As the Police arrived at the location, the woman was in the upper flat of the home and was informed that they were there to search for narcotics and unlawful articles, to which she agreed.
The woman immediately went to her sofa and took out a white and red ceramic plate containing a quantity of whitish rock-like substance suspected to be cocaine and handed it over to the Police ranks along with an additional 39 pieces of whitish rock-like substance.
She was told of the offence committed and cautioned. She replied: “Sir, it’s me own, ah buy it from a man.”
The woman was arrested and escorted to the Anna Regina Police Station, where the two sets of cocaine were weighed in her presence and amounted to 26.5 grams and 424.5 grams, respectively.
She remains in custody pending charges.
