Motorcyclist drops 15kg ganja while escaping from cops
The motorcycle that suspect was riding when he spotted the police
Police are on the hunt for a man who, upon seeing them, dropped parcels of cannabis along the Ituni Trail in Region 10 (Upper Demerara-Berbice) and escaped into nearby bushes, leaving his XR motorcycle behind.
The ditched parcels were later determined to contain over 15 kilograms of marijuana.
Based on reports received, Police ranks were performing traffic duties along the Ituni Trial on Monday when they observed heading in their direction a motorcyclist riding an XR motorcycle without a registration number. This man was at the time carrying a haversack and two other parcels – one at the front of the bike and the other at the back thereof.
The ganja that was abandoned
Upon seeing the ranks, the suspect dropped the parcels, jumped off the motorcycle and made good his escape into the nearby bushes. As such, the parcels and motorcycle were taken to the Mackenzie Police Station; where upon further inspection, it was noted that the two parcels were wrapped with transparent plastic on the outside and black plastic on the inside. In addition, one of the parcels was in a brown rice bag. Each parcel contained a quantity of ganja, which when weighed amounted to 15.422kg (341b)
The haversack contained several mechanical tools and wet clothing.
An investigation is underway.
