RANKS of the Guyana Police Force on Friday torched four fields of marijuana cultivation, measuring about eight acres, in the Upper Berbice River community of Gateroy.

Police, in a release, said an estimated 10,000 plants, measuring between two feet and six feet in height, and with a weight of approximately 21,000 kilograms, were destroyed when the ranks conducted a 12-hour Drug Eradication exercise at Gateroy, Upper Berbice River.

No arrest has thus far been made, but efforts are being made to trace and apprehend the owner/owners of the land, with a view to instituting charges, police say.
