A joint operation between the Customs Anti-Narcotics Unit (CANU) and the Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) resulted in the seizure of 2.75 kilograms of foreign cannabis at the Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA) on Wednesday, March 26, 2025.
According to reports, Customs officers from GRA and CANU officers acted on intelligence and conducted a search of an incoming barrel at the Laparkan Cargo Shed. During the search, several transparent parcels containing the illicit substance were discovered. The seized cannabis was later transported to CANU’s headquarters for further processing.

Authorities have emphasized that this seizure is part of ongoing efforts to curb the smuggling of narcotics through cargo shipments. CANU and GRA reaffirmed their commitment to strengthening security protocols and ensuring that Guyana’s borders remain protected from drug trafficking.
Investigations into the shipment are currently ongoing.
