A raid by units of the Customs Anti Narcotics Unit supported by ranks of the Guyana Police Force uncovered 36.3 kilograms of cocaine in a house at Ogle, East Coast Demerara. The drug has a street value of hundreds of millions of dollars.
CANU Head, James Singh, said that his men had placed the house under surveillance for some time. Yesterday, just before the raid the men saw no movement in the house. The occupants had left so when the raid was conducted the building was empty.
Mr. Singh said that in addition to the drugs, the team found a magazine with .223 rounds, the type used in the M-16 rifle and another magazine containing nine millimeter rounds used in the Beretta sub-machine pistol.
There have been a number of subsequent arrests since the police and the CANU ranks had earlier identified some of the people who frequented the house. Up to late last night they remained in police custody.
