Yesterday, a party of police officers from the Cove and John Police Station carried out an intelligence-led operation at Golden Grove North Seawalls, East Coast Demerara. There, a 39-year-old man was seen tending to several cannabis sativa plants, ranging from 2ft to 11ft in height.
He was arrested while further checks were made on a shack where 21 transparent plastic bags and two black plastic bags containing a quantity of cannabis were found.
The plants were counted and amounted to 130 kilogrammes, with an estimated street value of $9M.
The plants were destroyed by fire, the suspect was placed in custody and the dried cannabis was weighed in his presence and it amounted to 1873 grams.
