Officers of the Customs Anti Narcotics Unit (CANU) on Thursday, acting on information received, conducted an intelligence led operation at a location in Charity, Essequibo Coast.

A subsequent search of the location led to the discovery of 13 brick-like parcels suspected to be cocaine.

One person was arrested and escorted to CANU Headquarters, along with the suspected cocaine.

At CANU HQ, the suspected cocaine was weighed in the presence of the suspect and CANU officers, which amounted to 14.836 kilograms (approximately 30lbs).

Investigations are ongoing.
