An Assistant Superintendent of Police, a Detective Sergeant and four other ranks from Regional Division #3 were conducting a vehicular patrol in Bagotville, West Bank Demerara, at about 7.45 pm on Friday when they nabbed a man who was found to be in possession of 69.3 grams of marijuana.
As the Police patrol vehicle approached the ‘Famo’ shop, a man on seeing the Police vehicle, started to run to the back of the yard.
Ranks gave chase and caught up with the man who had a haversack on his back. The ranks searched the haversack in the man’s presence where a quantity of suspected cannabis was found in several ziploc bags.
