Police in East Berbice on Wednesday made a major drug haul which netted over 80 pounds of compressed marijuana.
At about 07:00 hours yesterday, ranks acting on information conducted a search of a white Toyota 212 Carina motorcar, HB 4285 at the No 51 public Road.
The car was being driven by Stanton Baird of 62 West Ruimveldt Housing Scheme.

He told the ranks that he did not know what the contents of the bags were.
He said that the men disembarked the vehicle just before the road block and he decided to continue driving. Of course investigators are not buying his story.
