Rohan Rambarran, one of a number of Guyanese jailed in Barbados in 2009 for drugs, was held yesterday with a large amount of foreign marijuana known as `Creepy’, according to CANU.
A release from the Cus-toms Anti-Narcotic Unit (CANU) said that yesterday its officers conducted an operation at Eccles Housing Scheme, East Bank Demerara, where they intercepted a motor vehicle driven by a male.
A search of the motor vehicle revealed five large bales wrapped with black plastic, containing 250 brick-like parcels suspected to be cannabis. CANU said that a further search was conducted at the residence which led to the discovery of seven 9mm live rounds of ammunition in a magazine.
Rambarran called “Sauce” of Eccles Housing Scheme, was arrested and escorted to CANU’s Head-quarters along with the ammunition and suspected cannabis which was tested and determined to be foreign marijuana known as “Creepy”.
In December 2009, Rambarran, along with four others were convicted in Barbados for the importation, possession and trafficking of 91.3 kilos of cannabis and 119.4 kilos of cocaine which were hidden in logs discovered on 29th November 2005.
Rambarran was sentenced concurrently to 25 years for trafficking canna-bis and 30 years for trafficking cocaine. On 29th August 2019, the Barbados Court of Appeal ordered the release of Rambarran on time served, and he was subsequently deported to Guyana.
