Yesterday, about 17:30hrs, a team of officers attached to the Customs Anti-narcotic Unit (CANU) proceeded to an area called Goat Dam in the village of Line Path, Corentyne to carry out surveillance on the area.
After about two hours, the officers noticed three individuals within the canefield walking towards them. The officers emerged from their position, identified themselves, and shouted out to the said individuals not to move. However, the suspects fled.
The officers did not pursue the individuals due to a canal separating the dam from the cane field. The officers searched the area where the men were seen and noticed 10 parcels of marijuana. The parcels were removed and taken for processing. They weighed in total, 80 Kilogrammes. The drug is valued at $10M. It is suspected that these parcels were due to be transported to Suriname.
