Reports are that at about 04:00h, the ranks went to Lamp Island, Kwakwani Water Front, Upper Berbice River. However, while there they observed motor car HD 673, with two occupants driving away upon seeing them.

As a result, a search was conducted on the vehicle and two transparent parcels containing a quantity of compressed leaves, seeds and stems suspected to be Cannabis sativa were found in the trunk of the car.
Both the driver and the passenger were told of the offence committed, but both pointed fingers at each other.
