September 15, 2016 By Editor

Three men are now in custody after they were intercepted with 4409 grams of cannabis during a Police operation on Tuesday evening along the Number 51 Village Public Road, Corentyne, Berbice.
Guyana Times understands that one of the men resides at Tucber Park, New Amsterdam; another at Norton Street, Lodge, Georgetown; and the third is from Betsy Ground, Canje, Berbice.
Based on reports gathered, the men were heading to Springlands in a grey Toyota 212 motor car bearing registration number PRR 654 when Police ranks stopped them at a road block.
Upon realising that the men were acting in a suspicious manner, the Police requested to search the vehicle during which the marijuana was found in five separate plastic bags in the trunk of the car.
The men were immediately arrested. They are expected to make their court appearance soon.
Only a few days ago, Police in the Ancient County arrested a New Amsterdam, Berbice man following the discovery of a quantity of marijuana in his minibus during a Police operation on the Number 51 Public Road.
It was reported that Police ranks, acting on a tip, stopped the minibus and conducted a search during which a black haversack was found.
When the ranks opened the bag, they found several parcels with seeds, leaves and stems.
They were confirmed to be marijuana and weighed, amounting to 1680 grams. The minibus driver was arrested. He is also expected to be charged soon.
