In an operation conducted at Muneshwers Wharf, Georgetown, officers of the Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) in collaboration with the Customs Anti-Narcotic Unit (CANU) found cannabis and three weapons.

According to a CANU statement on Tuesday, authorities conducted a search of two incoming barrels based on intelligence information. The operation resulted in the discovery of seventy-one transparent parcels containing approximately 37.2 kilograms of foreign cannabis, with an estimated street value of around seventy-one million Guyana dollars.

Alongside the drugs, officers seized three pistols with eighteen rounds of 9mm ammunition.

Several individuals connected to the shipment were immediately detained and are currently in custody, assisting investigators with ongoing inquiries.
