47-year-old Cordell Moore, a Georgetown/Berbice taxi-driver of Lot 974 Glasgow Housing Scheme, New Amsterdam, Berbice and Ulric Jordan, 50, of Lot 10 Camp Street, Georgetown, were this morning separately charged with trafficking cocaine.
The two men appeared in front of Senior Magistrate Leron Daly at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts.
They both denied the separate charge against them and were remanded to prison until March 5.
On Thursday, the Customs Anti-Narcotics Unit (CANU) in a press release said that the two men were interdicted on Wednesday, February 10, in relation to an ongoing cocaine probe.
The release said that Moore was arrested while he was at the Berbice Car Park at Commerce Street, Georgetown. It added that Moore was the sole occupant of the car at the time.
The CANU release further said that a search of the car revealed that the suspected cocaine, amounting to 504 grammes, was hidden in a panel of the car’s trunk.
Meanwhile , Jordan was intercepted on the same day while he was at his home. The release states that the businessman had a bag containing a digital table top scale which had traces of the suspected cocaine on the instrument when he was arrested.
The release further stated that they each had a quantity of cash in their possession when they were arrested.
