A 46-year-old man from Mon Repos, East Coast Demerara (ECD), was nabbed by police ranks at about 22:45 hrs last night (Friday) with a quantity of marijuana and molly.
The party of police ranks were on mobile patrol at the time, and while in the vicinity of Republic Drive, Beterverwagting, ECD, the suspect was observed riding a pedal cycle heading south, wearing a one-strap camouflage bag around his neck and acting suspiciously.
Inquiries revealed that the suspect parked his bicycle at a corner shop on the eastern side of the road and began to walk away. As a result, the ranks exited the vehicle. They searched the suspect where a black pouch within the said bag was examined, and 34 zip-lock plastic bags were discovered, each containing cannabis leaves, seeds and stems.
A further search was conducted where seven transparent plastic bags containing several crystal-like substances were found.
The suspect, from Block 8 Mon Repos, ECD, was told of the offence, cautioned, arrested and escorted to the BV Police Station with the cannabis and Molly, which was weighed and photographed in his presence.
The cannabis amounted to 16.66 grams, while the molly weighed 1.5 grams.
He was placed into custody pending charges.
