Federal agents in the US busted young Guyanese businessman and promoter, Ghalee Khan and another man identified as Danvor Griffith on Sunday after a cocaine drop was allegedly made at a New York location.

The two were reportedly being tracked after leaving Guyana, but were allowed to leave the JFK airport to make the drop before they were busted. Khan was being watched as he travelled on a flight from Trinidad to the US.

WRHM Capitol News reported last night that Guyanese Danvor Griffith, age 38, appeared before the Brooklyn Federal court on Monday on narcotics related charges and was granted US$250,000 bail but on the condition that his mother sign over her house to the US government by early yesterday morning.

Court records indicated that Khan, age 31, left Guyana on Saturday last and arrived in the US on Sunday. Federal agents had detected cocaine stashed in the rails and handles of his suitcase but allowed him to leave the airport to make the delivery.

According to the Capitol News report, a major shipment of luxury items within the past two weeks and the arrest and conviction of an associate in Georgetown resulted in the Khan and Griffith being placed on the authorities’ radar.

Khan, who owns a clothing store in the city, is expected to make a court appearance tomorrow.
