Suriname-based Guyanese busted while selling drugs to fishermen

A Guyanese woman was taken into custody by Suriname’s law enforcement officers after she was caught red-handed selling illegal drugs to Surinamese fishermen.
According to the Waterkant News, Suriname Police Corps arrested the 27-year-old woman last Wednesday in Nieuw-Amsterdam (Commewijne), after they suspected that she was selling drugs.

The arrest was carried out around 20:00h by a mixed team from the Surinamese police region of East, led by Commissioner Melvin Pinas.
The woman was arrested by Commissioner Thurkoweg at her place of residence, and when questioned, she admitted to selling illegal drugs to the fishermen.
Following the arrest, the woman was transferred to a police station in Richelieu, where the investigation region East will continue to carry out the investigation, Waterkant News reported.
Just recently, a Suriname-based Guyanese was busted with over 1.9kg of cocaine at the Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA).
Forty-two-year-old Tommy Ann Bunbury was intercepted by agents of the Customs Anti-Narcotics Unit (CANU). When found, the cocaine was neatly concealed in cavities in a book, make-up, personal items, and office stationery.
According to CANU, the mule is a food vendor at Downtown café Wiek Straat Paramaribo, Suriname, and resided at Condor Straat #1 Paramaribo, Suriname. She is also from Lot 10 Victoria Road, Plaisance, East Coast Demerara (ECD).
The mother of seven has been residing in Suriname for the past six years and periodically returns to Guyana to fulfil immigration obligations.
However, on the day in question, CANU officers carried out a search on the suspect, who was an outgoing passenger on an Eastern Airlines flight to JFK International Airport, New York, where the illegal drugs were found.
