Ganja in chair intercepted at Ogle Airport - chairman - 12-12-2012
Ranks of the Guyana Police Force Narcotics Branch continue their drug interception this time with a seizure of over three kilograms of compressed marijuana at the Ogle Airport. The herb was found concealed in the hollow part of a chair that was among cargo destined for the interior.
But at least the alleged owner will have a chance to spend Christmas as a free man after he was granted pre-trial liberty by a Magistrate at an East Coast Demerara court.
Police in a press release stated that at about 09:40 hours on Monday, ranks of the Police Narcotics Branch at the Ogle Airport, acting upon information received, conducted a search on cargo belonging to Anthony Thompson, 29, of Independence Boulevard, La Penitence, who was on a local flight to Imbaimadai, Mazaruni.
“A total of 3 kilograms 378 grams of compressed marijuana was found concealed in the hollow part of a chair.â€
Thompson was charged with trafficking in narcotics and appeared at the Sparendaam Magistrate’s Court yesterday, where he was placed on $600,000 bail by Magistrate Alex Moore.
He is to return to court.
