Authorities in Guyana intercept foreign cannabis along with guns and ammunition during a joint operation at a wharf in Georgetown. The Customs Anti-Narcotics Unit (CANU) and the Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) carry out the operation after acting on information received. Officers search two incoming barrels at Muneshwer’s Wharf (also spelled Muneshwers Wharf) and find cannabis described as foreign, with a stated value of about $71 million. The search also turns up three pistols and 18 rounds of 9mm ammunition. Both outlets report that CANU makes the disclosure and references the coordinated effort between the two agencies. One report states that several arrests follow the discovery, while the other focuses on the seizure itself and the items recovered. The operation takes place on Tuesday, and the seized items are linked to imports arriving through the wharf location in Georgetown. The reports do not provide further detail on the nationalities of suspects, the intended recipients, or the investigation’s next procedural steps.
