Woman caught with cocaine in achar at CJIA
A 24 year-old woman was caught at the Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA) after Customs and Anti Narcotic Unit (CANU) officers discovered a quantity of cocaine concealed in achar in her luggage yesterday morning, shortly after 05:00hrs.
She was an outgoing passenger on BW 525, CJIA said in a statement.
The permanent Canadian citizen is currently assisting police with their investigations.
Meanwhile, the actual amount of cocaine has not been determined as yet.
The discovery of the cocaine comes on the heels of the arrest and subsequent charge of Tishana Edwards who on February 23 was allegedly caught with 2.092 kilogrammes of cocaine concealed in cream liqueur.
