On Sunday, Customs Anti-Narcotic Unit (CANU) officers intercepted a motor vehicle near the Hope Canal while conducting an operation in Dochfour village, East Coast Demerara.
The driver of the vehicle abandoned it and fled on foot along the mud dam. A subsequent search of the vehicle revealed several parcels of cannabis in two bags in the trunk, CANU said.
The motor vehicle, along with the suspected cannabis, was escorted to CANU headquarters, where it tested positive for cannabis. A total of fifteen parcels weighing 33.4 kgs, with a street value of approximately $10 million were found.
CANU is seeking information on the whereabouts of Akeen Daniels aka Chicken; last known address: 489 Trafalgar, West Coast Berbice (WCB) and Shawn Sears aka Shawn Storm; last known address: 416 Trafalgar, WCB, in relation to the matter.
Investigations are ongoing.
