At about 3.30 pm yesterday, Police ranks found 684 grams of marijuana under a shop counter at Kuru Kururu.
The ranks were on patrol duties along the Soesdyke/Linden Highway when they received certain information. As a result, the ranks went to a shop at Kuru Kururu.
At the shop, the ranks contacted Joshua Angoy, a 19-year-old porknocker from Kaneville, East Bank Demerara, and Bernard Omar, a 19-year-old labourer from Kuru Kururu. The ranks informed Yashua Angoy and Omar of their reason for being there and they allowed the ranks to conduct a search of the shop.

Also under the counter, Police found a black plastic bag containing several small transparent ziplock bags with leaves, seeds and stems suspected to be cannabis.
