$45M worth of ganja unearthed, destroyed by Police

As the Narcotics Unit within the Guyana Police Force (GPF) continues its drug eradication exercise, a whopping $45 million in ganja was destroyed in communities along the Berbice River on Wednesday.
The Police have said that the exercise, which commenced at 4:00h, lasted for almost 12 hours. First, as the Police made their way up the Berbice River, two plots of land measuring one acre each were discovered under marijuana cultivation. The farms had about 10,000 ganja plants measuring between one foot and five feet in height, and weighing approximately 250 lbs. Both farms were destroyed by fire. The estimated value of the cannabis destroyed in those two farms is approximately $7.5 million.

However, as the Police ranks continued their exercise along the Berbice River, another ganja farm was discovered at Gateroy Village. That farm measured about six acres, and had approximately 50,000 plants ranging from one foot to six feet in height. The estimated weight of the ganja plants destroyed there is 1,250 pounds.
Two makeshift camps were also on this farm, and those were destroyed with the cannabis.
The estimated value of the cannabis destroyed at Gateroy Village is $37.5 million.
Police have said that the total weight of all the cannabis destroyed at these three locations is approximately 1,500 pounds, and the street valued has been pegged at $45 million. No one was arrested during these operations.
