Men busted in Meadowbank with 18lbs marijuana

Two men who were busted with 18 pounds of marijuana at Meadowbank on the East Bank Demerara are in Police custody and will face drug possession and trafficking charges soon.

In a statement today, the Police Force said that ranks patrolling in the area noticed the two men fetching a blue plastic barrel into an empty lot. When the men saw the Police, they reportedly ditched the barrel and started the run.

The Police ranks were able to track them down and restrain them, taking them back to the area where they ditched the barrel. Inside the barrel, the investigating ranks found a number of large parcels.

A further probe uncovered a large amount of marijuana along with camouflage clothing, gloves, a mask, and a bulletproof vest.

The two suspects were taken into custody and have denied all of the allegations leveled against them.

The matter is still under probe, and the suspects could face charges by Friday.
