Two persons are now in police custody after the car they were in was intercepted by ranks of the Guyana Police Force ‘B’ Division on the Number 5 Public Road, West Coast Berbice.
According to the Acting Divisional Commander Senior Superintendent Errol Watts, the car PSS 6939, a silver-coloured 212 driven by Gavin Sukhai, a 23-year-old of 118 Enmore North, East Coast Demerara was intercepted along the Number 5 Public Road during a routine roadblock by Traffic Ranks in the West Coast of Berbice.
The vehicle which also had another occupant, Noel Smith, 41, a Carpenter of Lot 30 Golden Grove, East Bank Demerara, was subjected to a search when two and a half bags of what was believed to be cannabis sativa (marijuana) was found.

They then drove off and was eventually stopped at Number 5 West Coast Berbice.
The ranks performed a routine search and unearthed the drugs in the trunk. The driver denied knowing Smith and further denied any knowledge of the cannabis.
