TWO men, who were allegedly nabbed by Custom Anti-Narcotics Unit (CANU) with $1.2 million worth in cocaine, were, on Friday, remanded to prison for drug trafficking.

Ron Reid, 49, and Nigel Dundas, 45, were arraigned before Senior Magistrate Leron Daly at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court.

The men denied that, on March 2, 2022, at West Ruimveldt, Georgetown, they had 1.084 kilograms of cocaine in their possession for the purpose of trafficking.

Magistrate Daly remanded the duo to prison until April 8, 2022.

On March 2, 2022, they were arrested at a West Ruimveldt house by CANU ranks.

The men were allegedly found wrapping pellets of suspected cocaine. The more than 100 pellets had a street value of approximately GY$1,200,000 and would have had a higher price value overseas.

According to a CANU release, Reid is no stranger to them.

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 after ingesting 114 cocaine pellets.

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