    I am happy that they got caught. Lots of them think they can go to Guyana and do their dirty little tricks and not get caught. The immigration should thoroughly check all foreigners who go to holiday in Guyana when they are returning. They will be surprised at what they will find at times. give them the full penalty that this crime deserve. They think they can go Guyana and find a means of making big fast money. Oh come on pleezzzzzzzzzzzz.

      I have lived in the US for the last 41 years. The last 16 in Ga. That young lady I am sure never heard of Guyana until the last few months when a number of Guyanese started recruiting these innocent country girls to do their dirty work. The law in Guyana should force them into giving the names of these heartless criminals, because they do not have a clue what they are getting into.

    That’s right send the message give them strong punishment. They are destroying lives for their gain. Hope they are put away for a very long time.

That’s a pretty good career to me…… ever considered that they were set up???? FREE THE AMERICAN CITIZENS………………….

    Many of these ‘first world people’ come to the Caribbean believing that our Customs and Immigration officials are a load of untrained idiots.

  8. Georgina UNITED STATES says:

    Mr Rowe, you’ll find that drugs do not discriminate. There has been a series of programmes in the UK regarding mules and why they choose to partake in such an act and it was found that they come from different walks of life and are usually groomed beforehand.

    I applaud the Narcotics division stationed in Guyana but one thing I have noticed on a number of occassions travelling via Barbados, Tobago and Guyana, is that they only single out people of colour. I’m trying not to insinuate anything hear but as I stated earlier, drugs do not discriminate.
