Drug enforcement officers on Thursday intercepted a large quantity of cocaine concealed in plywood and destined for Florida (GRA photo)

Three held for cocaine in plywood

April 22, 2016

A LARGE quantity of cocaine was intercepted yesterday when members of the drug enforcement arm of the Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) unearthed the substance during the examination of a consignment of plywood destined for the United States. In a statement, the GRA said that members of its Drug Enforcement and Goods Examination Units along with the Port Control Unit (PCU) were in the process of examining a consignment of 5/8 inch plywood destined for Florida in the United States of America (USA), when upon closer examination anomalies were detected within the consignment. Further examination and testing revealed a quantity of cocaine concealed between the approximately 320 sheets of plywood.
As such, the Customs Anti-Narcotics Unit (CANU) and the Guyana Police Force (GPF) were informed and officials of both agencies arrived on the scene to provide support and carry out further investigations. The plywood’s consignee was listed as a business located on the Soesdyke-Linden Highway with the consignment’s prospective recipient being a hardware establishment in Florida. GRA officials had become even more suspicious of the contents of the consignment based on the suspicious behaviour displayed by the consignee’s representatives during the examination process. Three persons have since been detained as the investigation continues.

Mr.TI pity the fool

Do we know if these are victimized East Indian businessmen, or Afro Guyanese drug dealers? East Indians were not known to be subject of arrest when drugs were found amongst goods they were exporting. So I am very much interested to know if there has been a change of policy.

Granger is going to make a lot of Indian folks poor by intruding in their niche space for wealth accumulation.

The following are facts about the new government in Guyana:

1) The crime rate has increased.

2) The economy is contracting

3) More people are being laid off from their jobs. Bread line getting longer.

4) The drug trade has gained greater momentum.

5) Our new Chinese Masters are out on a limb bribing ministers of the state.

6) Virulent critic of PPP/Civic gov't. have simmered down and are now waking up to a new reality of lawlessness, abuse of executive powers, and growing sense of mistrust between the AFC and PNC.

7) Supporters of the regime on GNI are defending the regime with attitudes of a good-for-nothing drunkard.

8) Mitwah is covering up his embarrassment and sense of betrayal by being more defensive of the regime since his supposedly mamoo-dadoo-sisi- son is holding on and hoping the coalition will impress and succeed as hopes are quickly fading.

Happy Friday People.
