As Police continue their drug eradication exercise, a joint operation at Kimbia, Upper Berbice River, between Wednesday and Thursday led to the discovery of approximately three acres of farmland cultivated with about 5000 cannabis plants. The plants ranged from two to four feet in height, and were uprooted and destroyed by fire.
The estimated value of the narcotics destroyed is $847,000. At the time of the operation, no arrests were made. Investigations are ongoing.
