Two Guyanese men were on Saturday arraigned in a Brooklyn, New York Federal Court on suspicion of smuggling some 20 kilograms of cocaine that was stashed in frozen fish, which was shipped to Miami via Suriname and later transported to New York.
The men Triston Daniels, 32, and Troy Gonsalves, 33, have since been placed on US$150,000 bail each, the New York Daily News reported yesterday.
Last week Wednesday, United States Customs and Border Protection (CPB) officers seized the frozen fish which had the drugs concealed in them, the Daily News reported CPB special agent Ryan Varrone as stating.
