Suspected drug swallowers in custody

Four persons believed to have ingested drugs are currently under police guard at the Georgetown Public Hospital.

Stabroek News understands that the four were held during a police raid on the East Coast yesterday. They were later taken by ranks of the Narcotics Branch to the hospital, where x-rays were performed on the men. However, a source said nothing was found.

The four were subsequently admitted to the hospital for observation.
