Bajan busted with 10 kilos at Timehri

Feb 01, 2010 News

An undercover operation that was intelligence-driven has led to the arrest of a Barbadian man with 10 kilogrammes of cocaine at the Cheddi Jagan International Airport, Timehri at around 14:00 hrs yesterday.
The suspect was an outgoing passenger on a LIAT 512 flight that was bound for Barbados.
Kaieteur News was told that undercover investigators were aware that the man was a drug mule, but allowed him to enter the CJIA terminal before arresting him.
A search revealed that the suspect was carrying 10 kilogrammes of cocaine strapped to his body.
The bust occurred even as police and officials from Customs Anti Narcotics Unit (CANU) continue to investigate how a suitcase with 24 kilos of cocaine passed security personnel posted at the CJIA and ended up in the US, where it was intercepted.
And just recently, a woman pleaded guilty to trafficking in cocaine after she was nabbed at the Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA) with ten grammes of cocaine in the lining of her wig.
