Essequibo duo nabbed with ganja

Two men were on Wednesday nabbed with a quantity of ganja by a Police mobile patrol operating along the Essequibo Coast, Region Two (Pomeroon-Supenaam).
The Police have said that 49-year-old Imtiyaz Solomon was arrested in Affiance with 11.9 grams of cannabis after a Police search unearthed a transparent plastic bag in his trousers’ pocket. Soloman reportedly told law enforcement that he had “just bought the marijuana to smoke.”

In Henretta, 52-year-old Alex Simon, a miner, was arrested after a search also led to the discovery of a transparent plastic bag in his trousers’ pocket with seven grams of cannabis.
The total weight of the illegal substance amounted to 18.9 grams.
Both Solomon and Simon are in Police custody, pending charges.
