Duo arrested with Ganja in Essequibo

Georgetown, Guyana: Mitztroy Dash, a 42-year-old, and Rayborn Gordon, 32 years old, were arrested in possession of Ganja in Essequibo on Thursday.

Notably, Dash is identified to belong to Good Hope and Gordon from Lima sand in Essequibo Coast.

It is to be noted that CANU officers conducted an operation between Adventure and Good Hope. During their exercise, they intercepted a motor car in the nearby area.

They then conducted a subsequent search of the motor vehicle in the presence of the driver, which led to the discovery of a quantity of suspected cannabis.

The police officers apprehended the duo in connection with drugs and escorted them to the CANU’s headquarters along with the suspected cannabis.

They were asked several questions related to the motor vehicles and Ganja that they had collected at the crime scene.

Noting this, the narcotic tested positive for cannabis and had a total weight of 2.4 kg with a street value of approximately GUY $1M.

Further investigation of the case is ongoing. As soon as this news spread to social media, many people expressed their opinions by commenting on the news.

One such person named Unapologetic Thomas wrote, “Y’all got bigger fish to fry free those men us Xmas d hole world going true a faze rite now stew.”

Another person by the name Maria Chickerie commented, “Let the man go. Look for the bandit that killing and robing people.” And replying to her comment, a person called Chris Brotherson stated, “So true, free the guys.”

Additionally, this is not the first time that such crimes have stolen the limelight; however, just a few days ago, police authorities arrested a 17-year-old with the offence of possession of Ganja in the area near Britton Street Plaisance, East Coast Demerara at Guyana.

During the search, an Anti-Crime Mobile Patrol observed a 17-year-old juvenile with a black plastic bag in his right hand.

The ranks picked up the bag and searched inside. On searching the bag, the officials found a few quantities of leaves, seeds and stems, which were suspected to be cannabis.

The cannabis found in the bag was weighed and found to equal 213.3 grams. The teen is currently in the police’s custody and is being investigated by Guyana’s officers.
