IN an operation carried out on Saturday, Customs Anti Narcotic Unit (CANU) officers, during an operation at Sandaka Creek, East Berbice-Corentyne, discovered multiple bags nestled within bushes along the creek, each containing parcels suspected to be cannabis.

The retrieved substance, suspected to be cannabis, was subsequently transported to CANU’s Skeldon Office in Corentyne Berbice.

Rigorous testing confirmed its composition, weighing approximately 37.4 kg (equivalent to about 82.4 lbs.). That cache of cannabis possesses an estimated street value of around GUY $11.2 million.

While the operation yielded no arrests at the time, ongoing investigations are underway to uncover the origins and those responsible for the concealed cannabis hoard.
