As police in ‘B’ Division continue crime fighting efforts, ranks from Eve Leary Station travelled to Berbice yesterday with tracker dogs and metal detectors to search a building that is being constructed by a suspected drug king-pin.
The king-pin who was arrested on Saturday is still being interrogated in Georgetown where he was wanted for questioning.
The man is expected to be returned to Berbice for police in ‘B’ Division to continue their investigations.
It is not yet clear if anything was found during the joint operation but onlookers said intense searches were carried out on the building.
Meanwhile, about eight persons who were arrested during a major raid on Friday and Saturday were charged at the Springlands Magistrate’s Court yesterday in connection with drugs and other offences.
One man pleaded guilty to possession of narcotics and was sentenced to three years imprisonment while others were also charged at the Blairmont and Whim courts.
