Ranks from the Customs Anti Narcotics Unit (CANU) on Friday nabbed a 33-year-old man with 12.2 kilogrammes of cocaine at the Cheddi Jagan International Airport.

The suspect, a barber from Canje, Berbice, was booked to travel to the John F. Kennedy International Airport on a Dynamic Airways flight the ranks intercepted him.

A search revealed that he had 12.2 kilos of the drug concealed in a container of milk powder. Some of the drug was also stashed in the false wall of a suitcase.

And around 14.35hrs yesterday, ranks from the Police Narcotics Unit arrested a woman on an outgoing flight at the Ogle Airport after 810 grams of cocaine was found strapped around her waist.

This comes just a week after drug enforcement ranks in the United States intercepted a shipment of shrimp from Guyana with 268 kilos of cocaine.
