Last Thursday, an off-duty policeman who was a passenger in a route 43 minibus in Linden, observed the suspicious behaviour of another passenger who possessed a bulky 10kg rice bag.
“The constable caused the vehicle to stop at the Amelia’s Ward Police Outpost where a search of the bag revealed 297 grams of compressed cannabis.”
According to police, the passenger, Nickey Nermal, 18, of Lot 3 Melanie Damishana, East Coast Demerara, was arrested and charged with Possession of Narcotics for the Purpose of Trafficking.
The ganja that was in the rice bag, seized by cops.
