A twenty-four-year-old Guyanese woman was yesterday arrested following the discovery of 10 pounds of cocaine in her suitcases while she was waiting to board a flight destined for Antigua at the Eugene F. Correia International Airport, Ogle.
Head of the Customs Anti-Narcotic Unit (CANU) James Singh confirmed the bust which occurred yesterday morning.
