More than a week after 21 kilogrammes of cocaine were found in the trunk of a car at Uitvlugt, West Coast Demerara, police yesterday issued a wanted bulletin for a suspect.
Harry Kumar Sukhraj, last known to be living at Lot 23 Hague Jib, West Coast Demerara, is wanted for questioning in relation to Trafficking in Narcotics, police said.
Sukhraj is of East Indian decent, is fair in complexion and is medium built. Anyone with information that may lead to the arrest of Sukhraj is asked to contact the police on telephone numbers 225-6411, 225-2700, 226-2870, 225-1111, 268-2298, 268-2399, 911 or the nearest police station.
All information will be treated with the strictest confidence.
The bust was made by police around 1 pm on November 29. According to reports, a car transporting three men was being followed by policemen in an unmarked car.
Apparently, other police officers were approaching from the opposite direction and two men who are known to the police exited the car and escaped by scaling fences.
The driver, who was left behind, was detained after a search of the trunk revealed the presence of cocaine.
Several searches were conducted for the two suspects who fled but ranks came up empty handed. After several days of questioning, the driver was released from police custody on bail after investigations revealed that he was not linked to the cocaine.
Earlier this week, a Tuschen, East Bank Essequibo resident who was accused of having links to the drugs turned himself over to police in the company of a lawyer. However, he was released later that day.
