Collis Burrowes

Clothes vendor Collis Burrowes, who the Customs Anti-Narcotic Unit (CANU) says was found with a quantity of crystal meth and ecstasy at Springlands, was yesterday faced with two drug trafficking charges.

Burrowes, 30, of Lot 1919 Norton Street, Georgetown, appeared in the courtroom of Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan in Georgetown, where he denied the charges.

It is alleged that on December 6th, at Golden Gloves Speed Boat Service at Springlands, Corentyne, Berbice, which is at the Suriname border, he had 254 grammes of crystal meth, also known as an amphetamine drug, for the purpose of trafficking, in his possession.
