Jan 20, 2014 News

 
As the law enforcement authorities step up their campaign against drug dealers in Guyana, a female drug dealer was nabbed with a quantity of drugs on Wednesday last at an illegal backtrack crossing at No79 Village Corentyne as she was about to board a boat on her way to the Dutch-Speaking Republic.
The woman who gave her name as Ifudh Hoyte, 36 of 54 Crane Housing Scheme and of Waterloo Street, Nickerie, Suriname was nabbed around 06:30 hrs with 1.5kg of compressed marijuana by the Berbice Anti-Smuggling Squad (BASS) and Police operatives.
The law enforcement officials, acting on information, were on the lookout, and after observing the woman’s suspicious movements as she was about to board a boat, moved in and carried out a search on her belongings. The woman who is a regular traveler was nabbed with the drugs stashed in two parcels wrapped with scotch tape in a haversack she was carrying. She was taken to the Skeldon Police Station where the contents were checked and weighed.
She was charged and appeared at the Whim Magistrate’s Court before Magistrate Rabindranath Singh on the charge of possession of narcotics for the purpose of trafficking.
She was refused bail and remanded to prison until February 14th.
