Kitty man busted with ganja jailed for 4 years, fined $112M

Sean Thomas, also called “Yankee”, 43, of William Street, Kitty, Georgetown, was on Friday sentenced to four years’ imprisonment and fined $112,052,000 after he was found guilty on two counts of trafficking in narcotics.
Thomas appeared before Magistrate Sunil Scarce at the Diamond-Grove Magistrates’ Courts accused of having 123.85 kilograms of cannabis in his possession.
Thomas and another man were arrested in January 2023 at a house in Eccles Housing Scheme, East Bank Demerara (EBD) after several parcels containing ganja were unearthed in plastic barrels. They were subsequently charged and remanded to prison after pleading not guilty to the charges.
