They were charged and appeared at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts on Friday where they pleaded not guilty to the charge. They are expected to make their next court appearance on August 20, 2021.
The Customs Anti-Narcotics Unit (CANU) continues to put a dent in the drug trade which saw several persons being prosecuted.
