In keeping with intentions to go after the assets owned by alleged drug trafficker Shervington Lovell, the Special Organised Crime Unit (SOCU), during the last few weeks, has been raiding properties said to be owned by him.
It was confirmed yesterday that the ranks have so far searched a property in Meadowbrook, the Tower Suites and the Leisure Inn Hotel in New Amsterdam, Berbice. It is unclear what the ranks were searching for. Previously, officials had seized jewellery and documents belonging to Lovell, which were being stored in a safe deposit box at a city bank.
Law enforcement officials reminded that Lovell became the subject of an investigation in 2016 and is still being investigated, mainly for money laundering.
