The Guyana Police Force has arrested a woman and four males in separate marijuana (ganja) busts on Wednesday – at Belle Vue Village, East Bank Berbice; and Itaballi and Tabatinga in Lethem (Region Nine).
At about 11:20hrs Wednesday, Police ranks, acting on information received, conducted a search on a camp at Belle Vue Village, where 4 kilograms of marijuana were found.
