Loric Williams and Chris Douglas, former employees of the Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA) who were charged last June with attempting to smuggle cocaine in rum to the United States of America, were yesterday found guilty of the crime.

The pronouncement was made by Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan, who set May 30th for the presentation of probation reports as well as for sentencing. Douglas, who had been out on bail, was remanded along with his co-defendant until that time.
