– allowed to go free after making phone call

A Surinamese national who was caught at a police road block with a large quantity of United States currency  stashed among his clothes was allowed to go free after he made a phone call.
According to a source, Roaul Winter of 74 Arnold Gulem Nickeri, Suriname, was travelling in a car on the 18th February around 23:15 hrs, when he was stopped at a police road block in the vicinity of the Albion Police station.
Police ranks searched his baggage and unearthed US $250,000 (equivalent to over $50M Guyana dollars).
When questioned, the man could not say where he got the money from,  and what he was going to do with it.  Winter, along with the driver was taken to the station where he was fingerprinted and photographed.
However, he reportedly requested and made one phone call which he said was to a friend.  Shortly after, the ranks were instructed to release Winter and give him back all his money.
The man and his driver then left the station for the Upper Corentyne, where they cross the Suriname river using the back track route.
The police remained tight lipped on the details about the incident although acknowledging that the incident did  happen.
