CANU issues wanted bulletin for businessman over Parika backdam cocaine bust

The Customs Anti Narcotics Unit on Sunday issued a wanted bulletin for businessman Ryan Pemberton aka Sancho of Alberttown, Georgetown.

He is wanted in connection with Saturday’s bust of over 60 pounds of cocaine in the Parika backdam.

CANU said it has been receiving threats from the man since the bust was made. Anyone knowing his whereabouts is being asked to contact CANU on telephone number 226-0431.

Meanwhile, CANU also announced the arrest of two other men in connection with the same bust. Their names have been given as Muneshwar Dusrajh and Latchman Sankar.

The two were held with the packets of cocaine in a high speed boat just after arriving in the Parika Backdam from the Essequibo Coast.

It is suspected that the cocaine shipment might have been brought from neighbouring Venezuela. It has a street value of almost US$1 MILLION.

The investigation is ongoing.
