Surinamese ordered deported after drug, immigration charges

At the Blairmont Court on Monday, Magistrate Tejnarine Ramroop fined two citizens of Holland $45,000 each after they admitted to charges of illegal entry and possession of narcotics and ordered their immediate deportation.

The court heard that on April 4 Joshua David Ramsarran, 20, and Mario Melvin Sobayo, 23, entered Guyana at the Number 78 Village, Corentyne foreshore by speedboat at a place other than a port of entry and failed to present themselves to immigration authorities.
