One week after a wanted bulletin was issued for him, drug trafficking suspect Rawle Drepaul has turned himself over to the police.
Drepaul was wanted in connection with a drug bust last Sunday at the Cheddi Jagan International Airport, in which a quantity of cocaine was allegedly found in a woman’s luggage.
He is the second person for whom a wanted bulletin was issued in connection with that find.
Yvonne Caesar, 59, a citizen of the United States of America, was charged and remanded to prison after she made her court appearance before acting Chief Magistrate Melissa Robertson on Thursday last in connection with that same drug bust.
She was detained at the airport last Sunday after police allegedly found a quantity of cocaine in her hand luggage.
The incident occurred at around 08:45 hrs at the Cheddi Jagan International Airport, as the woman was about to board a flight back to her homeland.
A check by ranks revealed that a total of 1kg.235 grams of suspected cocaine were concealed in her checked luggage.
The woman had told investigating ranks that Rawle Drepaul’s mother-in-law, who resides in the USA, had asked her to take up a photo album for her. She said that both Drepaul and his wife came to drop off the album at her residence.
She said that she didn’t check the album since she had known the persons, and had just placed it into her granddaughter’s suitcase.
A wanted bulletin was issued for another suspect. He was identified as Andrew Yhap, 31, of Christian Street, North Ruimveldt, Georgetown.
The police are asking for anyone with information that could lead to Yhap’s arrest to kindly contact them on the following numbers: 225-6411, 225-2700, 225-1111, 226-2870, 226-2917, 911, or the nearest police station.
