AN 18-year-old is in custody at the Suddie Police Station, Region Two, after cannabis was found on his person during a recent police stop-and-search exercise.

During the search, Ishmeal Kisson of Good Hope, Essequibo Coast, allegedly had ganja hidden in his pants pocket. He was told of the offence – to which he reportedly admitted—and was therefore arrested.

Kisson is expected to soon make an appearance at the Charity Magistrate’s Court.
