The Customs Anti-Narcotic Unit (CANU) and the Guyana Police Force (GPF) on Friday held a man at Crabwood Creek, Corentyne with over 200 lbs of ganja but another man escaped.
CANU/GPF officers conducted an operation in the Crabwood Creek area, Corentyne, Berbice on Friday. During the operation, they observed two males loading bulky parcels onto a boat that was moored at the time.
A CANU release said that upon noticing the presence of the officers, the individuals attempted to flee the scene. One of the suspects was apprehended by officers, while the other managed to escape.
A subsequent search of the said boat revealed several bulky parcels of suspected cannabis.
Anthony Sugrim, of Crabwood Creek, who was previously arrested by CANU on the 11th August 2023, was arrested and escorted to CANU’s Head-quarters along with the suspected narcotic. The narcotic tested positive for cannabis and weighed approximately 204 lbs. (92.6kg).
