Man found with Ganja in underwear at NA Prison

Georgetown, Guyana: Safraaz Hossein, a 29-year-old man, was found with Ganja in underwear at New Amsterdam i.e. NA Prison on Tuesday, January 2, 2024.

It is to be noted that a man was identified to be from 1015 Kilcoy/ Chesney Settlement of Corentyne at Berbice. He was taken into custody for possessing 2 grams of marijuana in a parcel stashed in his underwear.

Notably, Hossein visited the jailhouse at about 10:30 hours to drop off the personal items for his brother, Sultun Hossein. Staff observed him acting in a weird manner.

Further to this, jail staff became suspicious, and they then did a search- and shockingly, they noticed the contraband in his underpants.

As soon as he was discovered with marijuana, police arrested him immediately and told him of the offence. It is to be added in the remarks of the police that Hossein is supposed to appear in court on January 3, 2024.

Meanwhile, Director of Prisons Nicklon Elliot lauded the officers for their alertness.
