$80M cocaine bust…

The Tuschen, East Bank Essequibo resident who police said was a prime suspect in the recent 21 kilogram cocaine find was released from custody yesterday after turning himself in.
Kaieteur News understands that the resident, accompanied by his attorney, turned up at the Leonora Police Station.
He was kept there for about five hours before being released.
The Tuschen resident told Kaieteur News that he showed police his passport and other documents which proved that he was in Suriname since last October.
His relatives had alleged that police had suggested that he was one of the people who fled from a taxi in which the cocaine was being transported.
The man’s 19-year-old son was released on Sunday after spending three days in custody.
Police had said that they wanted to question the father, since they had received information that seemed to implicate him.
Two Mondays ago, police, reportedly acting on information, trailed a taxi from Windsor Forest, West Coast Demerara.
Other police sources said that the trailing began on  East Coast Demerara.
They reportedly managed to get a glimpse of the occupants whom they immediately recognised as known drug dealers.
Police sources said that the ranks followed the car to Uitvlugt, West Coast Demerara, where the two known suspects, upon realising that they were being followed, hurriedly exited the car. The ranks then searched the vehicle and discovered the cocaine.
But there is also a report that the police stopped the vehicle before Uitvlugt, removed the cocaine and replaced it with a substitute.
The driver reportedly was arrested but was subsequently released on station bail.
