Police in Regional Division Two are investigating a ganja and “Molly” find following an incident at Charity Backstreet, Essequibo Coast, (Pomeroon-Supenaam) on Saturday afternoon. According to reports, ranks were conducting a mobile patrol around 14:30h when they observed a 23-year-old labourer from Dartmouth Village standing between two stalls in the area. As officers approached, the man allegedly discarded a black plastic bag and a smaller whitish bag onto the roof of a nearby shed. The items were retrieved by police and examined in the presence of the suspect. Investigators reported that the bags contained plant materials believed to be cannabis, including leaves, seeds and stems.
Two transparent zip-lock bags containing crystal-like substances suspected to be methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA), commonly referred to as “Molly,” were also found. The man was arrested at the scene and taken to the Charity Police Station along with the narcotics. Police said the substances were weighed in his presence, with the cannabis amounting to 230 grams and the suspected MDMA totalling six grams. The suspect remains in custody pending charges.
