Canine Division rank detained for aiding drug mule

A rank from the police Canine Division is under close arrest for allegedly aiding a female drug mule to slip past security at the Cheddi Jagan International Airport yesterday.
Kaieteur News understands that the woman was attempting to board a flight when she was nabbed by ranks from the Customs Anti-Narcotics Division (CANU).
However, reports indicate that a constable from the Canine Division had initially cleared the trafficker. He was reportedly taken into custody after the CANU ranks found the drugs on the passenger that the Canine Division cop had initially checked.
“A rank is under close arrest. He may not have acted professionally and we are looking at it,” a senior police official said yesterday.
On Wednesday, Anastasia Latoya Crawford, 19, of 29 Fort Street, Kingston, was arrested at the Ogle International Airport for allegedly attempting to board a Barbados-bound flight with 2.286 kilogrammes of cocaine and 5.574 kilogrammes of marijuana.
She has since been remanded for being in possession of narcotics for the purpose of trafficking.
