A 46-year-old man from Mon Repos, East Coast Demerara (ECD), was held by Police ranks at about 10.45 pm on Friday with a quantity of marijuana and the drug `Molly’.
The party of police ranks were on mobile patrol at the time, and while in the vicinity of Republic Drive, Beterverwagting, ECD, a 46-year-old male was observed riding a pedal cycle heading south, wearing a one-strap camouflage bag around his neck and acting suspiciously.
The police say that the suspect parked his bicycle at a corner shop on the eastern side of the road and began to walk away. As a result, the ranks exited the vehicle. They searched the suspect and a black pouch within the said bag was examined. Thirty-four zip-lock plastic bags were discovered, each containing leaves, seeds and stems suspected to be cannabis.
