…lead police to ‘Rasta man’

 

Berbice Police moving swiftly and acting on information were able to nab two market constables with a bag full of ganja. Police acting on information and after conducting surveillance was able to arrest two market constables, a man and a woman, attached to the New Amsterdam Municipality with a quantity of marijuana (ganja) in a bag which they claimed they were given to deliver to someone.
According to information the police were informed that marijuana would usually be transported from the riverain areas and be offloaded at the New Amsterdam market in the early morning hours or in the evening.
According to information the police got word that a shipment was arriving and after conducting surveillance secreted themselves.
Early Friday morning the two constables were apprehended by the police as soon as they walked out of the market compound.
Realizing they were nabbed the constables told police that they were asked by someone to deliver the bag to a ‘Rasta Man’ in New Amsterdam. The two then led police to a house in the town where the man allegedly lived.
Secreting themselves the police asked one of the constables to knock at the door. A ‘Rasta man’ came out and was arrested by the police after he was identified as the man to whom the marijuana was to have been delivered.
According to information the drug came in a boat from the Berbice River and arrived at the market wharf. It was handed to the constables who were operating for a fee.
The names of the constables were not released, but it is understood that the female was a former member of the Guyana Police Force who was jailed after being convicted for aiding a man in custody to escape. She enrolled in the constabulary after serving her sentence.
According to information the two constables were part of a gang doing private courier work for a fee.
Investigations are continuing and charges are likely soon.
