Women nabbed at CJIA with 12 kilos of cocaine

May 16, 2015 News

Two women were nabbed around 16.00 hrs yesterday attempting to smuggle some 12 kilograms of cocaine out of Guyana.
The women were arrested while preparing to board a Caribbean Airlines aircraft that was heading to the John F. Kennedy International Airport. Anti-narcotics ranks have been making several major drug busts in recent times.
Last April, agents of the Customs Anti-Narcotics Unit (CANU) unearthed over 100 kilograms of cocaine at a house at Diamond New Scheme, East Bank Demerara.
The cocaine was in containers laden with frozen fish and was also in brick form. (CANU photo)
And in January, collaboration between agencies involved in the country’s Container Control Programme resulted in the confiscation of 192 kilograms, 420 grams of cocaine destined for Europe. Drug fighters had intercepted a cargo ship, MV DELTADIEP, while at Linden in Region 10.
In August, 2014, a Self-Propelled Semi-Submersible (SPSS) was found in the dense jungle of the hinterland. The semi-submersible vessel was more than likely built at the camp site in Waini River, North West District, Region One.
