CANU busts trio with over 5kg cocaine

Three men were taken into custody following the discovery of a quantity of cocaine during an operation at Vlissengen Road, Georgetown on Thursday.
The Customs Anti-Narcotics Unit (CANU) stated that during the operation, ranks intercepted a motorcar which when searched unearthed several brick-like parcels containing a whitish powdery substance suspected to be cocaine.

The suspects were arrested and escorted to CANU’s Headquarters along with the suspected narcotic, which subsequently tested positive for cocaine and weighed 5.672 kilograms.
The three men remain in custody pending charges and further investigations.
