Police destroy more than $22.8 million worth of cannabis after finding and dismantling three cannabis farms during a joint eradication exercise at Long Savannah, Canje Creek, on the Berbice River. The operation is carried out by ranks from the Guyana Police Force Narcotics Branch and Regional Police Division #6 on Tuesday, September 1, 2026.
Across both reports, the farms are located at the same site and cover about 10½ acres in total. INews Guyana adds an estimate of roughly 53,500 cannabis plants discovered during the exercise. The Guyana Chronicle also describes the operation as involving the destruction of cannabis valued at about $22.8 million, but focuses less on plant counts.
Both outlets attribute the action to the Guyana Police Force and describe it as part of an eradication effort at Canje Creek. Neither report provides details on arrests or prosecutions arising from the exercise.
