A 21-year-old mother of two, booked to travel to Barbados on a LIAT flight, was yesterday nabbed with 3.1 kilogrammes of cocaine strapped to her body at the Eugene F Correia International Airport (EFCIA), Ogle.
Head of the Customs Anti-Narcotic Unit (CANU) James Singh told Stabroek News that agents attached to the EFCIA found the illicit drug strapped on to the woman’s body.
The East Coast Demerara woman was travelling with her two children, aged 2 and 3 years old. The toddlers were handed over to relatives of the woman and she was arrested. She is currently assisting law enforcement officials with investigations and could be charged and passed through the court today.
