OFFICERS of the CUSTOMS Anti-Narcotics Unit (CANU) arrested two men following the discovery of marijuana in two separate searches over the weekend.

The officers conducted an operation in the Greater Georgetown area on Friday, when they intercepted a motor car.

A subsequent search of the motor car revealed a large Ziploc bag containing a quantity of leaves, seeds, and stems suspected to be cannabis. Two persons were arrested and escorted to CANU’s Headquarters along with the suspected narcotic, which tested positive for cannabis and weighed one (1) kilogramme.

Meanwhile, on Saturday, officers whilst conducting a follow-up operation in the Greater Georgetown area, searched an abandoned house which led to the discovery of a black plastic bag containing a quantity of cannabis that weighed 916 grammes and a .38 revolver.

The cannabis that was seized is known as “Sour Diesel,” which is a foreign cannabis that has a current street value of GY$700,000 per kilogramme.

Investigations are ongoing.
