Customs Anti Narcotics Unit (CANU) ranks last evening seized over 50 pounds of cocaine in Corriverton, Berbice and arrested two persons.
While details have been sketchy, Stabroek News has been reliably informed that some 25 kilogrammes of cocaine were unearthed and two men were arrested.
Sources revealed that the investigators had the men under surveillance and moved in on them some time on Friday night and found the drugs.
A senior CANU official declined to give more details as he said he did not want to alert other persons in the drug trafficking ring to the operation.
It is believed that the drugs were destined for Suriname.
