A search is continuing for Ryan Pemberton called `Sancho’, the Alberttown businessman who is wanted by the Customs Anti-Narcotics Unit (CANU) for allegedly threatening to kill ranks after they intercepted a quantity of cocaine on a fibre glass vessel at Parika, East Bank Essequibo two months ago.
This was confirmed by CANU Head Michael Atherly, who told Stabroek News that Pemberton is currently being sought by CANU and the police.
“CANU and the police are seeking him at this time,” Atherly said.
On the evening of February 22, ranks of CANU intercepted 61 lbs of suspected cocaine on the vessel at Parika Backdam, EBE.
In a press statement, CANU had said that the darkly painted go-fast vessel was intercepted with several parcels of the suspected cocaine in its bow.
Twenty-five parcels weighing a total of 27.866 kilogrammes of suspected cocaine were found, CANU had said.
Two occupants of the vessel: Muneshwar Dusrajh, 48, and Latchman Sankar, 35, were arrested.
Days after the interception, they were both charged and remanded to prison.
Anyone knowing the whereabouts of Pemberton is asked to make contact with the CANU on 226-0431 or the nearest police station.
