RANKS from the Customs Anti-Narcotics Unit (CANU) are currently on the hunt for a man, who abandoned his motorcar with $8 million worth of cannabis during a chase along the East Coast Demerara (ECD) corridor.

According to a CANU release, on Wednesday, officers conducted an operation in the vicinity of Hope Bridge, ECD, where they attempted to stop a white fielder wagon with the licence plate PAB1884.

“The driver refused to stop, prompting CANU officers to give chase. The officers pursued the vehicle into Haslington New Scheme, where the driver of the motor vehicle stopped and fled into nearby bushes. Officers attempted to apprehend the driver but were unsuccessful,” the release said.

A search was conducted on the vehicle, which led to the discovery of several parcels of suspected cannabis.

The motor vehicle and the suspected narcotics were transported to CANU Headquarters, where it tested positive for cannabis. The parcels weighed a total of 39.9 kilograms, with an estimated value of $8 million.

Investigations are ongoing.
