Customs Anti-Narcotics Unit (CANU) officials yesterday discovered approximately two kilos of cocaine in a package addressed to a Brooklyn, New York address.
Stabroek News understands that the package, which was one of two randomly pulled in by anti-drug officials, was discovered early last evening at the Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA), Timehri. The package was bound for a Caribbean Airlines flight headed to the John. F. Kennedy airport.
An East Coast Demerara address, sources told this newspaper, was listed under the sender’s name on the package. The cocaine was discovered concealed in several packs of massala, Chinese spice and black pepper.
Up to late last evening the exact amount of the illegal substance was still unknown and anti-drug officials were yet to check the East Coast address. Investigations are ongoing.
This is the second package that has been intercepted by CANU at the airport in just over two weeks. On June 25, a package containing over two kilos of cocaine and destined for Toronto, Canada was intercepted. The name of a woman was listed as the sender but a visit to the Kitty address which was inscribed on the package revealed no-one by that name living there.
The drug lords are just testing a new way to ship their goods abroad because the jackasses(mules)are being busted.Dem man trying a ting an if dem get through da gon be de new way, an doan kay wha plenty gon pass,meh na kno bout de Merican side.
If the Guyana Government was really serious about controlling drugs, they would cooperate with the DEA, and it will be easy to trace both the source and destination of the drugs, as someone in the US would want to know where his/her stuff is even if they can’t find out who sent it. This will go a long way of identifying the source of this curse on our country
I what wrong with you???? Cooperate to kill the goose that’s laying many ‘golden’ eggs…..Until the Feds and Marines sweep in and clean house……nothing will be done….
