A police raid that unearthed cannabis and ammunition left three houses ransacked and occupants’ wondering if the destruction was warranted.
According to the police between 13:40 and 15:30 hours, a Gazetted Police Officer and a party of police ranks executed search warrants at Lots 173 and 171 Ogle Street, Triumph, East Coast Demerara. In the Lot 173 building, the police found five transparent zip lock plastic bags containing cannabis in a small box as well as US$40 and $170,000 in a barrel.
Police said they took possession of the cannabis and money and a 28-year-old woman was arrested. They subsequently searched two buildings at Lot 171 where they found 417 suspected .22 rounds of ammunition along with a 12 gauge cartridge in the kitchen.
