TWO men are expected to be arraigned before a city magistrate, today, for the recent $1.2 million cocaine bust at West Ruimveldt “front road” area, Georgetown.

Ron Reid, 49, and Nigel Dundas, 45, will be arraigned at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court for drug trafficking.
On March 2, 2022, the duo was arrested at a West Ruimveldt house by ranks from the Customs Anti-Narcotics Unit (CANU).

The men were found wrapping pellets of suspected cocaine.
The more than 100 pellets amounted to 1.084 kg in total, with a street value of approximately GY$1,200,000, and it is believed the price overseas would be higher.

According to a CANU release, Reid is no stranger to the agency.
On March 2, 2015, Reid, along with his common-law wife, was arrested with 70 grams of cocaine for the purpose of trafficking.

In 2017, CANU issued a wanted bulletin for Reid after his associate, Julius Watkins, was intercepted at the Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA), Timehri with 114 cocaine pellets that he ingested.

Watkins subsequently pleaded guilty and was sentenced to four years in prison. The following day, Ron Reid turned himself over to CANU.
