GEORGETOWN, Guyana, Aug. 7, CMC – The police late Wednesday arrested a Guyanese man and his Venezuelan wife after he admitted to being in possession of both marijuana and meth.

The police identified those arrested during the cordon and search operation as  Hudley “Allan” Khan and Yolimar Del Valle Rivas.

Police said the entire cordon and search operation and Mr Khan’s reported admission were video recorded by the police Force’s camera.

“The ranks requested to conduct searches for illegal firearms, narcotics, and ammunition, after which Khan indicated that he had narcotics in his room,” police said.

In addition to a multi-coloured bag that contained the 23 “bulky parcels” and one transparent plastic bag, police said they seized one plastic bag containing a whitish rock-like substance suspected to be methamphetamine.
