A 53-year-old taxi driver found in possession of ganja has pleaded guilty to the charge brought against him.

Eusi Wilson of Lot 50 Edinburg, East Bank Berbice (EBB) was brought before Chief Magistrate (ag) Sherdel Isaacs-Marcus at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts on Wednesday.
He admitted to the offence, pleading guilty to having 22 kilogrammes of marijuana in his possession on April 21, 2024, at High Street in Georgetown.
Wilson was remanded to prison pending his sentencing hearing which is fixed for May 9.

Wilson was driving a motorcar when it was intercepted on the day in question during an operation along High Street, according to the Customs Anti-Narcotics Unit (CANU).
Wilson was inspected by CANU officers when they saw his suspicious behaviour, and they discovered multiple large packages of cannabis in the vehicle.
The car and the drugs were later seized and brought to CANU’s headquarters.
