More cocaine intercepted at CJIA

Sep 04, 2012 News

–    Catering service, airline employees held  

The stringent security at the Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA), Timehri, has once again paid dividends, with the interception of another quantity of cocaine destined for the North America market.
One kilogram of the illegal drug was discovered yesterday morning among linen intended to be placed on a Delta Airlines flight bound for New York.
Police sources have indicated that two persons, an employee of Roraima Airways and another from a catering service have been arrested.
According to information reaching this newspaper, security personnel at the airport had observed the Roraima Airways employee acting in a suspicious manner, in an authorized area.
An official of the local airways, which is contracted to Delta Airlines, told this newspaper that their security personnel usually accompany meals for the outgoing flight to New York.
But the source said that with the improved security status of the airport, one of its personnel was seen with a bag of linen in an area where he was not supposed to be.
A search of the bag unearthed the drug.
The Roraima Airways employee reportedly told investigators that he had collected the bag with the drug from the catering service employee. This led the investigators to detain the catering service employee who according to reports, denied any knowledge of the drug.
