A late-evening patrol at Harmony Hall Public Road, Mahaicony, led to the discovery of more than 30 kilograms (kg) of suspected cannabis and the arrest of two occupants of a parked motor car.
The incident occurred around 21:18h on Wednesday, when ranks on duty observed a vehicle stationed on the northern side of the roadway. The team approached the car and made contact with the occupants – a 26-year-old gold miner from Angoy’s Avenue, New Amsterdam, and a 30-year-old nursing assistant from Rosignol, West Bank Berbice.
Searches were carried out on both individuals and on the vehicle. Nothing illegal was found on the occupants, but a search of the trunk revealed three black garbage bags containing seven transparent compressed parcels filled with leaves, seeds, and stems suspected to be cannabis.
The items, along with the two suspects, were escorted to the Mahaicony Police Station, where the suspected narcotics were weighed in their presence. The parcels amounted to 30.625 kg. The suspected cannabis was lodged, and both individuals remain in custody as investigations continue.
