Police have identified a few places in the Berbice River where more raids would be conducted to locate and destroy marijuana fields.
Acting on intelligence, police conducted raids at De Veldt and at Gateroy, about 55 miles up the Berbice River on Wednesday and destroyed several marijuana fields.

Commander of ‘B’ Division Stephen Merai on Thursday said they found a 10-acre farm at Bamboose, lower De Veldt with plants about one to six feet in height. Police also discovered 14 nurseries with several thousand seedlings as well as a large camp – 40 x 40 feet –
