The Customs and law enforcement officers of the Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) on Monday discovered 24 packs of cannabis concealed between several bedsheets imported in a parcel from the USA. The discovery was made at the Linden Post Office.
The Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) stated that the consignee made good her escape when confronted and the suspected illicit items were handed over to the Customs Anti-Narcotics Unit (CANU) for further investigations and possible prosecution.
