– CANU officers discovered quantity of cocaine in ‘achar’ in the 24-yr-old’s luggage

A 24-year-old woman was caught at the Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA) after Customs and Anti Narcotic Unit (CANU) officers discovered a quantity of cocaine in the guise of achar in one of her luggage around 05:00 hrs yesterday morning.

According to a statement from CJIA, the woman was an outgoing passenger on BW 525.

The permanent Canadian citizen is currently assisting police with their investigations.

Meanwhile, the actual amount of cocaine has not been determined as yet.

The discovery of the cocaine comes on the heels of the arrest and subsequent charge of Tishana Edwards who on February 23 was caught with 2.092 kilogrammes of cocaine in cream liqueur.

CJIA’s management again applauds the law enforcement officers in their ongoing pursuit to curb the narco-trafficking trade.
