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.
Ghalee Khan
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.
How are these stashes slipping past CANU and other checks at CBJ?
MONEY…
They need some SNIFFER DOGS, at the airport.
well more of the alleged drug dealer faces are coming to light, soon the rest will surface, jail them for a long time.
what happen to the one who got busted on a PA highway with over US$250K in his car.
That is good tactics,when they detect the drugs in their suitcases,don’t arrest them right away,wait and see where their dropoff point is…good work!!
Oh yeah, great detective work. The GPF needs to take a leaf out of the Feds books. It’s not rocket science, duh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One more down many more to go ,just the good life without working hard .
What do we expect when our leaders have now made this approach to life an art form? The young will learn what they are taught by the elders! Our leaders have been using the resources of the people to have a good time and to make things easier for themselves, their relatives and friends, and have not been serving/working for the people as they should. Guyanese have lost the incentive to work honestly and those who do, continue to struggle on a daily basis just to keep a roof over their heads and food on the table. Just as this young man was stopped in his path, so shall those who have taught his generation that they could live the good, “duck-curry” lifestyle without having to work for it !
I am a friend of Ghalee Khan, and have known him for a number of years, and there is no one that works harder than him. Am i suprised by this? Yes.
Ghalee’s friend.
I GUESS THE KHAN’S LIKE FAST MONEY

There goes another “embattled businessman”
correction there 4 REAL, “SUCCESSFUL BUSINESSMAN”, little minor matter to take care of.
This recent arrest is another embarrassment for the Guyanese authorities since one again the drugs pass through our airport
Currie,you and congress place should not be commenting on what is an embarrassment to Guyana.
I guess you guys doing a great job as opposition.Look at the filth Guyana is,as much as I blame the PPP,if they were a strong opposition in Guyana,this run away beggar dictatorship train would have been stopped a long time now.
Yes LoveGT 4 Real, another embattled bussinessman. I know many firends hustling clothes in GT for YEARS, going back & forth to the US paying Customs & doing it the HARD HONEST way. These guys coming up in a hurry, buying & seeling stuff at dirt cheap prices, putting honest people out of the race & doing crap. Don’t expect the “top-notch” criminals to be stopped at the Timehri Int’l Airport ( I REFUSE TO CALL IT CHEDDI JAGAN INT’L AIRPORT I THINK IT IS DISRESPECTFUL TO OUR AMERINDIAN BROTHERS & SISTERS WHO WERE THE AMERICA’S FIRST PEOPLE) These criminals have staff in most places, the airports, Customs, the police force, etc. Uncle Sam will take care of them. The net in Guyana has holes so these “mosquitoes” get out Uncle Sam has a good quality net THEY WILL BE CAUGHT THERE.
right on target de Tal………………….only that they give us guyanese a bad name
Fulano de Tal: In regards to I REFUSE TO CALL IT CHEDDI JAGAN INT’L AIRPORT. All these years I thought that I was alone in refusing to accept the name chage of our beloved “Timehri Int’l Airport”. I’m pleased to know that there are others that do not accept it.
yea yea lets change it to LFSB airport….i dont want to call de full name coz its an embarasment to most guyaneze…..
I hope that those who read your blog understand what you are saying and see hope in its implications. The US govt. has long given up on seeking the cooperation of the Jagdeo regime in tracking down and apprehending Guyanese wanted by Uncle Sam. What Jagdeo and his croonies do not seem to understand is that whether they cooperate or not the “trade” and the “traders” will inevitably be brought to justice! We may question the US’s strategy in their war against drugs. That is not the issue here as far as I am concerned. The issue for me is that Uncle Sam will never….I repeat…never allow Guyana to degenerate to the status of a genuine narco-state. She has too much at stake, GEOPOLITICALLY, to allow this to happen.
