Dataram’s ex-wife held in ganja bust

 

THE Customs Anti-Narcotics Unit (CANU) on Thursday evening seized 170 pounds of marijuana and arrested four persons including the ex-wife of self-confessed drug-trafficker, Barry Dataram, during a raid at Versailles,West Bank Demerara. The quartet will make their first court appearance on Monday. Head of CANU, James Singh, confirmed to the Guyana Chronicle that the raid was conducted on a house in a gated community at Versailles. He said ranks acted on a tip-off when they conducted the raid. Dataram’s ex-wife, Sheleza had gained notoriety in December 2007 when she and her three-year-old daughter were kidnapped by two Venezuelans, one of whom was later shot dead in a confrontation with the police. The incident had occurred at Ruimzeight Gardens, West Coast Demerara.
