THE Customs Anti-Narcotics Unit (CANU) has said it did not approach, detain or seize the jewellery of businessman Richard Ramjit, who was an outgoing passenger on a Dynamic Airways New York-bound flight.Mr Ramjit has made a complaint alleging that officers attached to CANU had, on January 19, 2016, seized his gold and silver neckwear and one gold and silver wrist band, and detained him for four hours.

But CANU, in a statement, has said the officers -– who had identified themselves as CANU officers — are not, nor were ever, members of the unit. The statement also said that no CANU officer was at any time involved in that operation.

“CANU officers on duty are uniformed and display their issued identification cards with their names,” the release concluded.
