East Canje police swooped down on a camp at Sheet Anchor, East Canje yesterday and found 178 shotgun cartridges and over four kilos of marijuana.
A senior police officer told Stabroek News that they received information around 2pm yesterday and when they raided the camp two men were seen running away from the area. The officer said the ranks chased after the men but was unable to proceed further as the area was swampy. The men apparently then disappeared in the bushes.
The ranks then searched the camp and unearthed the 12-gauge shotgun cartridges as well as 4.5 kilogrammes of marijuana. The items were seized and the camp was destroyed, the police source said.
According to a police statement, investigations are in progress.
