Teen among 3 nabbed with ganja during Police operation

Three men were taken into Police custody on Wednesday evening after a quantity of ganja was found in their possession during an operation at Adventure Back Street, Essequibo Coast, Region Two (Pomeroon-Supenaam).
The three men – a 19-year-old, a 30-year-old, and a 39-year-old – were reportedly sitting under a house and upon seeing the Police patrol, they attempted to leave the area, but were all intercepted.
The ranks conducted a search of the men’s person, but nothing incriminating was found.
However, when the ranks conducted a search of the area where the men were seated, a transparent plastic bag containing 36 smaller plastic bags with ganja was found.
The three men were all cautioned separately and informed of the offence after which they were arrested and taken to the Anna Regina Police Station, where they denied ownership of the illicit substance.

The marijuana was weighed in their presence and amounted to 40 grams. They remain in custody as investigations continue.
Meanwhile, Police ranks on mobile patrol duty at Ogle Street, Triumph, East Coast Demerara (ECD) recovered a quantity of marijuana after two men were observed standing at a corner of the street. One was reportedly holding a black plastic bag and they were both acting in a suspicious manner.
Upon seeing the Police, both men ran with one dropping the plastic bag he was holding. The bag was retrieved and 12 Ziplock bags containing cannabis were found.

The ranks gave chase, but the men made good their escape through an empty lot. The marijuana was taken to the Beterverwagting Police Station where it was weighed and amounted to 33 grams.
