A 40-year-old woman of Best Village, West Coast Demerara (WCD), was on Saturday arrested after a quantity of ganja was found stuffed in chickens at No 70 Police Checkpoint, Region Seven (Cuyuni-Mazaruni).

Police stated that on the day in question, during a routine stop and search exercise, ranks intercepted a motor lorry bearing registration number GZZ 3698 which was driven by a 46-year-old resident of Cornelia Ida, West Coast Demerara and transporting 12 passengers.

The cannabis and the suspect were escorted to the Bartica Police Station where the ganja was weighed in her presence and amounted to 565 grams. She remains in custody pending charges.
