West Dem. police seize $80M in coke
Police on the West Coast of Demerara have recorded the largest drug bust so far for the year, following the seizure of a whopping 21 kilograms of cocaine yesterday.
The drugs valued about $80M were unearthed in a car in which three men, two of whom are known drug dealers, were travelling.
According to reports, around midday yesterday, the police acting on information, trailed a car from Windsor Forest, West Coast Demerara.
In the vicinity of Anna Catherina, they managed to get a glimpse of the occupants whom they immediately recognised as known drug dealers.
They followed the car to Uitvlugt, where the two known suspects, upon realising that they were being followed, hurriedly exited the car, leaving the driver to ‘face the music’.
The ranks then carried out a search of the vehicle and discovered the cocaine.
The driver reportedly denied any link to the drug claiming that he was hired by the two men.
This newspaper understands that the bust was a result of a sustained surveillance operation on the two suspects which began some time last week.
The police have assured that they will be relentlessly hunting the men who escaped with a view to having them appear in court.
