Ranks from the Police Narcotics Unit have once again intercepted a shipment of cocaine at the Cheddi Jagan International Airport Timehri.
On Saturday last, ranks stationed at the airport were doing routine checks in mailbags which were scheduled to leave for the United States, when they stumbled upon an unusually big package.
That mail was searched and a substance suspected to be cocaine and another substance suspected to be heroine was found.
Tests conducted on both substances later proved that one of the substances was indeed cocaine and the other heroine. This newspaper was told that the cocaine weighed some 3 kilograms while the heroine amounted to some 400 grams.
Investigations are ongoing. This is the second shipment of cocaine which was found in a mailbag at the CJIA in the past two weeks. During the latter part of March, a packet of sweets was found in a mailbag with a quantity of cocaine. No one has since been arrested for that bust.
