A 35-year-old, La Parfaite Harmonie, West Bank Demerara (WBD) shop owner was arrested yesterday after cops found about 124 grammes of cannabis at his place of business on Monday night.
A release from the Guyana Police Force (GPF) said that ranks were performing mobile patrol duties at around 23:30hrs in the Parfaite Harmonie Station District when they observed the man standing in a shop, “acting suspiciously”.
The ranks asked the man to subject himself to a search and he agreed. A further search of the premises by a rank unearthed a transparent plastic bag containing several ziplock bags of cannabis leaves, seeds and stems under the shop’s counter.
The man was told of the offence and cautioned. He denied ownership of the cannabis saying, “I don’t know bout da“.
He was then arrested and escorted to the Parfaite Harmonie Police Station along with the cannabis.
Further investigations are ongoing.
