THE Customs Anti-Narcotics Unit (CANU) found a red Toyota car with a large quantity of marijuana on Sheriff Street early Monday morning.
According to a reliable source, over 100 pounds of marijuana was found wrapped neatly with plastic in the trunk and back seat of the car.

Guyana Chronicle was told that the car, bearing licence plate PKK 1609, was being tracked by officers of the unit but the driver apparently noticed that he was being followed, so he abandoned the car on Sheriff Street.
