A 21-year-old man was yesterday morning taken into custody after he was allegedly found at the Alpha Hotel, at Ogle, East Coast Demerara, with 80 cocaine-filled pellets, which are believed to have been intended for a drug mule.
Sunday Stabroek was reliably informed that the pellets, which amounted to 900 grammes, were unearthed during an operation undertaken by ranks of the Police Narcotics branch around 9 am.
