A La Grange businessman has distanced himself and his company from a recent drug bust at the Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA) in which five persons were arrested after a cache of 48 pounds of cocaine was discovered in a shipment of mangoes and macaroni.
Reportedly, the shipment originated from Prestigious Foods of Lot 1-2 Plantation Walk, West Bank Demerara.
Yesterday, owner of the Prestige Manufacturing and Bottling Enterprise, Ramanand Prashad, said that the Plantation Walk company has no relationship to his company.
“I have seen some media blogs and other news reports and have received calls. My business has been around for over 20 years and has no relations with any other company carrying the words ‘Prestige’.”
According to Prashad, his business has been operating from its location at 10 La Grange, West Bank Demerara, for several years now, bottling essences, vinegar, mustard oil, pepper sauce and achar.
“I have even seen this website that somebody told me that has an image of myself and Ravi Dev. I am not sure what this attack is all about but it is indeed strange and shocking that someone can make such a connection without verifying anything.”
According to the businessman, it was only last week that the Guyana Manufacturing and Services Association awarded his company for its contributions to the business sector.
