Reports indicate that the men, aged 23 and 25, of Buck Hall, and North Ruimveldt, Georgetown respectively, were in a shop when police observed them operating suspiciously and decided to search the shop.

of cannabis in a rice bag in the kitchen area.

One of the men confessed to owning the cannabis while the other was taken into custody, pending investigations.
The men were escorted to the Sans Souci Police Station pending charges.
