The police yesterday reported that ranks of ‘E’ Division have conducted two drug eradication exercises, which saw the destruction of more than eight acres of cultivated cannabis.
The exercises were conducted last weekend at Wisroc, Wismar, Linden and eleven miles off the Ituni Main Road, Upper Demerara River.
The number of cultivated plants amounted to 10,000. They ranged from one foot to six feet in height.
Makeshift tents along with foodstuff, cooking utensils and a quantity of dried cannabis were also found at the respective farms. Samples of the cannabis were obtained before the cultivations were destroyed by fire.
