Law enforcement officers have arrested a 40-year-old pork-knocker of Stewartville Housing Scheme, West Coast Demerara (WCD), after discovering a quantity of marijuana in his residence.
Acting on information received, Police ranks swooped down on the WCD house on Thursday afternoon. The initial search of the suspect yielded no items. However, during a search of the living quarters ranks saw a black plastic bag hanging on a nail and upon checking, they found 54 transparent Ziplock plastic bags. Each bag held leaves, seeds, and stems suspected to be cannabis.
The man was arrested and escorted to the Leonora Police Station, where the drug was weighed; it amounted to 135 grams.
As investigations continue, Thomas remains in custody.
