Anthony Thomas

Two Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) officers and a security agent were yesterday arraigned on a charge that they conspired to traffic the cocaine found last week in a bag at the Cheddi Jagan International Airport, Timehri (CJIA).

Anthony Thomas, Ravindra Singh and Gregory Luke, who allegedly conspired with a person or persons unknown to traffic 11.44 kilogrammes of cocaine by attempting to export it on July 27 at the CJIA, were refused bail by Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine-beharry at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court.

The three men denied the charge when it was read to them but arguments by their lawyers failed to move the magistrate
