The Customs Anti-Narcotics Unit (CANU) on Saturday intercepted 3.3 million worth of ganja during an operation at James and Hill Streets, Georgetown.
CANU stated that on the day in question, CANU officers conducted an operation in the vicinity of James and Hill Streets, Albouystown, during which they observed a male carrying a bag.
Upon noticing the CANU officers, the individual quickly fled into an empty lot where he abandoned the said bag and made good his escape.
The area was searched, leading to the discovery of the bag which contained four parcels of cannabis. The narcotic was taken to CANU’s Headquarters, where it was weighed and amounted to 10.8 kg (approximately 24.5 lbs) with a local street value of approximately $3.3 million.
