Police find ganja in abandoned stall at Charity

Ranks of the Charity Police Station in Region Two (Pomeroon-Supenaam) have found a quantity of ganja in an abandoned stall in the community.
It has been reported that at about 10:30h on Tuesday, ranks were on mobile patrol in the Charity Back Street area when a resident informed them of an abandoned stall that was being used as a safe house for storing ganja. The ranks proceeded to the stall and conducted a search, and unearthed a black plastic bag containing leaves, seeds, and stems of what was suspected to be ganja. The find, when weighed at the Charity Police Station, amounted to 231 grams. No one has as yet been arrested.
Only two days ago, 59-year-old Bryan Wharton of Hibiscus Street, West Ruimveldt Georgetown was busted with $21M worth of ganja during an operation conducted by the Customs Anti-Narcotics Unit (CANU).
Based on reports received, CANU officers conducted an operation at Hibiscus Street, West Ruimveldt Georgetown last Monday and unearthed 11 parcels of ganja. Wharton was, as such, arrested and escorted to CANU Headquarters along with the narcotics, which when weighed amounted to 22.8 kilograms, which has a street value of approximately $21 million (US$102,000). Wharton remains in custody, pending charges. (G9)
