Yesterday, the Customs Anti-Narcotic Unit (CANU) and the Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) carried out a joint operation at Crabwood Creek, Corentyne and seized imported cannabis and alcohol.
A release from CANU said that during a search several parcels of suspected cannabis and several cases of uncustomed alcohol were discovered.
The suspected narcotic and the uncustomed alcohol were escorted to the GRA location for processing. The narcotic tested positive for imported cannabis (creepy weed) with a total weight of 22 kg (48.5 lbs.) and a street value of $12.5m due to the higher Tetrahydrocannabinol content.
Investigations are ongoing.
