CANU said that he is wanted in connection with the 9.274 kilograms of cocaine found at the Cheddi Jagan International Airport last Saturday.
According to the bulletin, Persaud is no stranger to the law. Recently he was charged with discharging a loaded firearm outside Palm Court. He was charged and released on bail.
Back in 2009, the police were summoned to disentangle a fragmentation grenade from beneath his car. A report stated that he was driving his vehicle on August 4, 2009, when he was alerted to an unusual sound coming from under the vehicle. On checking, he observed a fragmentation grenade attached beneath it.
The police responded and removed the device.
