Labourer busted at Parika with ganja, “molly”

Police in Regional Division Three (Essequibo Islands-West Demerara) arrested a 27-year-old labourer on Wednesday after suspected narcotics were found in his possession during an operation at Parika Junction, East Bank Essequibo (EBE).
According to reports, at about 17:30h, ranks acting on intelligence approached Clive Moses in the vicinity of a gas station. Moses, who was standing on the southern parapet next to a black unregistered Luminus motorcycle, was informed by an Inspector that he was suspected of having narcotics in his possession. Police said that he did not object to a search, and during the search, police discovered $135,000 in Moses’ pants pocket. When questioned about the motorcycle, he told the ranks that it belonged to him.

The ranks then searched the motorcycle in Moses’ presence and found, under the seat, a transparent plastic bag containing several zip-lock bags with suspected cannabis amounting to 75 grams (g), along with a suspected amphetamine (commonly called “molly”) weighing 24 g.
He was told of the offence and reportedly said, “Sir, is a small hustle I’m doing; we can work out something.” Moses was arrested and taken to the Parika Police Station, where the suspected narcotics, cash, and motorcycle were lodged.
Moses remains in custody.
