Days after ranks of the Customs Anti Narcotics Unit (CANU) intercepted a 46-year-old man with 4.5 kilograms of cocaine in the false walls of his suitcase, the ranks busted a Guyanese woman as she was trying to smuggle out the illegal substance via the Cheddi Jagan International Airport on Thursday.
According to information received, Odessa Pollard, of East La Penitence, Georgetown, was about to board a Caribbean Airlines flight destined for Trinidad and Tobago when the ranks discovered the cocaine in packets of milk powder.
Based on reports received, the ranks thought something was amiss when they uncovered several packets of the milk powder and decided to carry out tests on its contents.
The substance was tested and it was found to be cocaine and not milk powder. The packets, along with Pollard, were taken to the CANU headquarters. The weight of the cocaine was not immediately available.
The woman is assisting with investigations.
